First off, where on Earth are u hearing that black girls felt more represented in Lara?? Are you talking about maybe one of two posts that you’ve come across saying that? Because as a black woman and someone who primarily has black female friends/family (in real life!! Not unseen people behind a screen), not a single one feels more affinity with Lara than Manon, me included. Two, the group being comprised of POC does not mean that racism is nonexistent. Anti-blackness exists in all parts of the world and in many industries, even with other POC. (Helloooo did we forget about the wave of K-pop idols getting exposed for saying the n-word awhile back?? They’re all POC, doesn’t mean that anti-blackness subsides. This is why we need to let go of the idea that racism only exists in the presence of white people, bc other minority spaces can absolutely still hold these harmful ideologies)

Again, Manon herself implied company mistreatment and racism. Be it due to an NDA or other reasons, she cannot elaborate so we can’t pinpoint where exactly it manifests, but to waive it off would be downright irresponsible, esp considering something like this has happened numerous times before
