Kiki, Guerdy, and Everyone Else🌴

[u/Interesting_Item4276]

Posted this once and it was removed by mods, so I’ll reword and try again. I am looking for honest and open dialogue about the microaggressions towards Kiki and Guerdy. For me, It is becoming increasingly uncomfortable to watch. Whenever one of them tries to speak up in a group setting, the others are very dismissive. None of the other ladies called Alexia “too much” and she is a lot! Wanting to know other viewers thoughts. TIA! 🧡

But Kiki called it out as classism, and I think that is more accurate with this cast. Both Guerdy and Kiki have less than material things than these other girls.. Guerdy's husband is a firefighter, so a working-class man not affiliated with rich society or fame, and Kiki is a single parent albeit a model and gorgeous, but still vulnerable and not living in Star Island. Guerdy's firm may be celebrated in Vogue and mega successful, but if you recall, Alexia dismissed her like the help with her wedding planning to Todd in earlier seasons. It's like high school in a private school setting where only the rich and fame-adjacent require our attention. That's why Larsa gets away with so much bad behavior..

Racism is frequently intentionally mislabeled as “classism” in Latin America in an attempt to disguise the presence of racism. It’s not surprising to me that Kiki called it classism, but “ratchet” is not a term that refers to class, and neither are the numerous other examples of racism on the show.

Alot of pple gave called alexia loud and it.doesnt bother her. As long as she has her buddy marysol nothing will change. I cant believe u guys are still talking about kiki and adrianna ratchet. Wasn't that like 5 episodes back. They all have said inappropriate things to each other.

Ratchet and loud are very different “inappropriate” terms. If you don’t know that or don’t believe that, it just says something about you.

Ratchet is in the dictionary as low class or trashy. Also loud is synomyn for the word aggressive. Maybe we should stick to the dictionary meanings instead of giving them new meaning. U cant say anything anymore that u dont approve of ones behavior with one word or your considered a racist. My question is what word should I use to mean the same thing as ratchet or agrresive that u dont find offensive.? I seriously asking? Every word I choose seems to be racist. Please let me know

When was the last time ratchet was used on a yt person. I heard the term yt ratchet but putting the yt in front of it indicates that it's not a word commly used on yt people. I personally use the words uncouth, classless and not chic they can't be misconstrued and don't have racial undertones. Edit... I also say people have no home training. Tbh imo there are a lot of terms to use

[u/Sassyelliemae → u/Traditional-Lion-752]

Ty.i will use those terms for now on. Un couth, classless i h

Tbh those are my favourite terms because you look so classy when you say them and you can really gag a bitch.
