dear white people who don’t live here

I am really sorry to be the one to break this to you

but TV and movies are lying to you about what NYC looks like

there are more than three POC that live here

we are not all sassy cab/bus drivers/service people

most of us are not the sole POC in our friend groups or workplaces

and not all of us live in the projects

apologies,

Bisho

PS: they are lying about LA too

OMFG for reals

I’m from LA.
