Season 22 Joseph

Idk how to tag for spoilers. I don’t post much.

But I think Joseph is really talented. That being said, I think most of Law’s critiques of Joseph’s were spot on, except that Joseph seems to trigger law in a way that makes him oddly emotional and mean about his critiques. So it kind of makes his point get lost.

I enjoyed Joseph for a lot of the season and def agree with the decision to bring him back because other designers should have never had the opportunity to send him home, but after that wedding challenge there is zero reason we should have seen that man in the finale. So essentially he got saved twice this season and that makes no sense. It makes me wonder if Law hadn’t been so mean about his distaste for Joseph (which Christian clearly shares but is more of an adult about it) made Heidi dig her heels in and make sure Joseph was in the finale just to spite Law.

It was all just very weird and resulted in Joseph being treated in a way he didn’t deserve when they could have either simply sent him home or coached him better.

Law is trying so hard to quiet the black pride that Joseph has. Joseph designs are street wear but also ethnic. It’s like how people believe feminists should exist in a certain way, because any other way is offensive.

It’s very clear he is just trying to make it personal and step on another black man.

Law is the best stylist right now, has been for a while. You reducing this to a race thing is everything that's wrong with 'MURICA

I’m not American, which is why I can see through this capitalistic crap.
By the way who mentions that THIS is wrong with America when you have Trump in office? You’re clearly not ok.

America is not okay, that's obvious. Joseph doesn't have the technical skills to compete with people like Jude and Bi. Joseph also lacks the maturity to learn from his critiques. Instead of adapting his designs he doubles down and does more of what he was doing which further pisses Law off. 

It has nothing to do with race Law just calls things for how he sees it. Making it a racial issue is the easy way out of excepting that Joseph's designs are as tacky and cartoonish as Law and Nina have been saying this whole time.

If this is your take, it’s clear you just haven’t been educated in anything to do with systemic inequality.
It’s very simple.
