I’m so tired of the millionth Wuthering Heights remake and another TV show set in the Regency era. And I’m tired of Hollywood telling white stories and replacing them with a Black or Asian person. I want historical stories about cultures that aren’t white American or European. I’m not even saying I don’t want white stories in them - I just want multitudes of stories where the POC perspective doesn’t feel like set dressing.
I would love to see a show about The Harlem Renaissance, Chinese immigrants coming to America in the 1850s, The Iroquois Confederacy, the Black Cowboys, Japanese Internment in WWII, California Ranchos, The Hawaiian Kingdom. There’s so many amazing historical stories.
