gingers are black in the jonas la universe
#i havent talked about it on here but ive been rewatching jonas
#because it FASCINATES me now. i didnt like it even as a kid.
#no one ever talks about it in the jonas brothers' legacy but as ive done my research on its history
#im realizing that they may have in fact succeeded in the way they did in the late 2000s bc they DIDNT have a sitcom
#until one was shoehorned near the end of their disney run. and it was terrible. so little effort at even just a concept.
#i may just make the argument that it was doing the show that burnt them out so shortly after they hit huge off-channel success
#bc by 2009 they really didnt need a sitcom to promote them. and focusing so much of their time on it probably sunk them.
#but regardless. it's SUCH a bad show. so much worse than any other disney sitcom of the time by FAR.
#ive been ranting to kaily about it for a long time and she wants me to write an essay about it when im done
#but really there's almost TOO MUCH for me to talk about. i couldnt do it wo becoming quinton reviews.
#but anyway yes. adam hicks' character in jonas la. that terrible guy. he's black. so is his date in s2e4.
#text post
#this show has no significant representation of black people OR redheads. not that i usually feel... offended by redhaired representation
#as a redhead myself we're... i mean. we don't deal w racism but i definitely liked having characters that looked like me
#felicity was my favorite american girl doll and all that
#redheads are often delegated to either the nerd roles or the bullies as well.
#how tropes interact w characters' appearances is an interesting thing to analyze even when we're not talking about race/ethnicity
#and adam hicks is definitely giving Uncool Guy as the part it's just. he's supposed to be. like. wannabe black.
#when the girl he supposedly went on a date w turned out to be another wannabe black redheaded girl... i felt Offended
#it does kind of make me uncomfortable when redheads are represented as like. innately more interested in ppl of our same hair color
#bc we're not??? i have no special affinity for redheaded men. bc my hair isn't a personality or identity. it's hair.
#it's also weird to me when redheads are portrayed as coming from families of Entirely redheads. that's not common.
#ppl have told me before though that i need to marry a ginger man and use my ginger womb to make his ginger babies
#(not often but it has happened) and im like. ok stop reading jk rowling. lol
#but i have to hand it to the jonas writers: it's pretty amazing how you managed to be soooo racist while only using white people
#i guess it's also supposed to be an ironic This Nerd Thinks He's Black (bc nerdy gingers and black ppl can have nothing in common)
#trying to juxtapose different types of ppl based solely on appearance-related stereotypes. a mess.
