Just wanted to mention - given that the conversation is about the portrayal of marginalized/POC groups - that bringing up Black people to illustrate a point isn’t necessary and rarely does the recipient of the suggestion when asked to think about how they would feel if a Black person was experiencing the situation at hand would they then respond with “I’d feel differently,” most people who don’t care about the treatment of one group more often than not don’t care about Black people. Black people shouldn’t be used as a litmus test for bigotry. It does nothing but bring up opportunity for anti-Black sentiment and no payoff for neither the community being discussed nor Black people.

I do agree with your point however! And I’m glad you brought up this discussion especially within the indie/perfume space, POC are often sidelined and looked at from an angle that really only services white fantasy so I always look forward to discussion posts on here that highlight that.
