[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watched the fourth episode last night. Meh.

Charlotte's arc felt a little white savior-y. She has no black friends but she's able to pull her new black friend's chestnuts out of the fire with her mother-in-law and suddenly she's "in" with the sisters? Uhhh...

And if Carrie is devastated by the loss of Big, it's hard to tell.

Miranda's prof opening up to her about IVF and maybe not wanting a child at all? They've known each other what? Weeks?

I happen to be simultaneously binging Insecure and while it's not perfect, holy cow, the quality differences are so dang stark. [/quote]

Damned if we do, and damned if we don’t. Where is the line between being actively anti-racist and being a white savior?  Tired of the absurdity of it all. If anything, this show is highlighting what a f’d up place white women are trapped in right now. I know, boo hoo. But dang. Our mere existence is offensive to people. [/quote]

I'm the pp. I am a white woman. I agree that many white women feel trapped right now. Because many feel they suddenly have to have black friends so they don't look racist. But the answer to that is the same as making friends anywhere - through mutual respect, shared interests, and care-taking over time.

It seems like on some level, Charlotte's friendship with Lisa has the potential to develop into something authentic because they do both have a love of art and seem to share some values and interests. But the series is rushing a lot of these relationships, which is (I guess) why so much of this feels performative and phony??? [/quote]
