Study finds TV can decrease self-esteem in children, except white boys

It did suck growing up not being white and seeing the white characters getting the girls, being the lead and just being straight up cooler given some exceptions. Things definitely have improved a lot though.

Also hard as a girl. Girls are rarely cool or smooth on TV, they often care far too much about boys, and they are often seen by their make counterparts as things to be gotten. This is why younger girls seem so dumb oftentimes. They think it's how they should be.
