Is Love Island trying to ruin our Black Hot Girl Summer?
This week we will speaking about race and reality TV!
It’s that time of year when Britain showcases it’s newly developed top export, the Love Island series.
We have some die hard reality tv show fans in this joint, and this week we’ll be exploring how we view and experience reality tv shows as Black women. Does the way reality tv producers interact with race and diverse or "un-diverse” casts determine how much we can enjoy our reality tv?
How do these choices reflect wider patterns with racial socialisation and concepts of desirability in general? Is looking to interact with racial discourse in Love Island reviews a barrier to our hot girl summer? Or is it naive to think we can ignore blatant racial undertones in reality tv? Tune in to hear our thoughts!
