The only men who meet the qualifications for "white boy of the month" must be broadly beloved by marginalized communities, and are those who play roles that position them in proximity to — and in reverence of — marginalized women. Especially women of color.
loved this! I wrote a similar piece last month on my Substack called "The Exact Science Behind the White Boy of the Month." The range of examples of white boys here was great; the elaboration of how exactly black women, in this instance, do the heavy lifting in popularizing both the term and the men. It speaks to the larger cultural trend of POC (again in this case black women specifically) dictating cultural trends that everyone enjoys and proves that they weren't created in a vacuum.
