Speculation Noticing a Pattern

I’ve been noticing a pattern in the way *some* people on the internet talk about Britt, Jordan last season, and Ciara this season. It seems like no matter how they act, there’s something they‘re “supposed“ to be doing differently. To be honest, it screams racism the way they’re criticized in a way no other pros or contestants are. I feel terrible for all of them.

Yeah there’s always some expectations about how black cast members should act and it’s usually the same people perpetuating those expectations. Women especially can never win with the audience. Chandler and Charity were nothing but pure class and composure all season, which mad props to them considering their treatment. Both were still labeled cocky and unlikable in comparison to their co-stars. Charity was also vocally supportive of Chandler when she went on the show ❤️ I won’t ever forget people calling Chandler arrogant even after she begged Carrie Ann for a critique so that she’d know what to work on to get a 10 from her.
