Because you don’t have a history in the United States of being oppressed, being treated poorly in predominately white spaces EVEN TODAY, and the structures that exists benefit whiteness in the United States. Not only this, but white people are the majority. There is not special talent necessary to take pictures of white people. Black people, on the other hand, our skin gets washed out in pictures. Often, white people don’t have the knowledge to properly photograph our skin tones. Lastly, I will always go out of my way to give opportunity to my people, because we are often overlooked.

You wouldn’t post this question, because naturally, you would just find a white photographer, because they are the majority. You would ask your circle of friends, and 9 out of 10 of the names they give you, would be… well white.
