That's the exact reason why I'm saying it's an issue. I'm not saying disliking females based on ethnicity
isn't, and of course, it's a much bigger issue than the former. Nevertheless both are damaging to black women, whether you're turning them into a "meme" without intent but out of admiration or into a figure that we should be ashamed of. One is much more wrong than the other but both are still wrong.

That's fair enough. To people on both sides, if you don't believe mine or Winter's comments concern you then they probably don't.
