The TV show “Gossip Girl”, is a show predominantly with white people, and has few people of color. One of the main characters “Blair,” has sidekicks. Blair is a privileged white girl that goes to a Catholic school. The sidekicks have no personality, no interests, no real lives other than to take orders from Blair, reinforcing the age-old colonial narrative as normal. Her sidekicks are woman of color, although throughout the show he sidekicks change. Blair is naturally superior to them and shows her superiority by demanding them to do things for her, whenever she wants.
