Head of diversity at BBC said Luther isn't black enough because he has 'no black friends' and doesn't 'eat Caribbean food'
Seriously, sometimes as a black person I feel like we are our own worst enemy.
We put so many strict boxes and enforce stereotypes on ourselves and then get annoyed/offended when other cultures do it to us?
I found it quite upsetting, actually and felt that we should as a community be more accepting of each other if we don't fit into the stereotype of 'blackness'.
Just sad really.
