I am still kinda shocked at how much thought I give to Blossom. I only ever remember watching a few episodes, and most of those details escape me.
I had a memory of Blossom's dad and mom (or dad's sweetheart?) singing AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH at maybe Blossom's older brother's wedding? White people singing this song to a couple (white and African American) and the woman's (African American) family.
I couldn't find the clip, and while this link is eye-opening (5 seasons! what plotlines! who knew?), it did not help me.
Where am I going here? Come on, People of the Internet. Say it with me:
IS THIS RACIST?
Oh my goodness. There are so many answers. As always I retreat to or take refuge in the Four Corner Logic , and say:
YES
NO
BOTH
NEITHER
I so badly want to use this GIF:
But, you know, whether it is racist is probably not the issue at hand. Satisfying as it is to call someone out for being a racist or a Nazi or whatev, the real issue here is THE PERMANENCE OF BLOSSOM IN MY INNER LIFE.
I mean, really. WTF?
