Tonight’s Hallmark movie has a real problem: the female lead reads as casually racist. That’s a problem because it’s one of their new IR films.
They tried a “meet cute” where the woman ignores the male lead in an empty room. It’s typical hallmark. When they’re both white, the woman comes off as “big city”. When a white woman doesn’t “see” the black man standing right in front of her — it feels racist.
It just goes to show how tough it’s going to be for Hallmark to just change the complexion of actors without also having more sophisticated writing.
Anyway, I hate her. The brother would want her in real life but we would judge him for it. This one is a 👎🏾
(I should probably lay off the Hallmark reviews when I’m having a low key genius day #onhere but welp.)
