I think people should only use "tall, dark and handsome" if the person is actually dark, not for some brunette lax bro who just finished summer tryouts

The phrase originated in old Hollywood and the men it was used to describe were white and had dark hair and dark eyes. It wasn’t referring to skin color.

So I think people should continue to use it however they want — for all skin tones if they want.

Right Google! This meme describes feelings perfectly. Frankly, the main people known to say this are WW so they can keep doing that if they want. But for the POC women I know, it's pretty weird to call someone lighter than you dark lol that will never be normal to me since when I think dark, I think dark skin so I'm rebelling against the meaning of this phrase 🙅🏾‍♀️

I used to think it literally meant a tall handsome black guy but the phrase is so overused on that show that now I know it means tall handsome with dark features like hair, eyes, and olive skin.

I have grown to greatly dislike this phrase. 6’1 former linebacker and for real tall and dark (my mom says I’m handsome 🤷🏾‍♂️). Huge let down when I realized people just meant white guys. 😅😑

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
