To be fair, much of the media and art that people are exposed to doesn’t really center people who are not of the “majority.” So it makes sense to be conditioned over the years to subtly value such people and perspectives more. But it’s also depressing, and a lot of people don’t question their own feelings, especially if it’s more subconscious and not based on anything that seems political to themselves. I guess the answer is to just keep on going with this long slog of trying to project those who are seldom in the spotlight, until people really do see them equally, really see them, not just acknowledge in the back of their heads that, sometimes, Those People exist, but you don’t really have to care about them.
I imagine this is what will happen even though it’s absurd. Like it’s actively going to become detrimental to not be trackable via an online presence connected to your identity because there are people who are mad that you won’t let them invade your privacy. Lol
