Bridgerton states from season one, through Simon and Lady Danbury, to season two, with the Sharmas, to Queen Charlotte, from the beginning episode to the end spelled out clear as day, that racism exists in this world and many of the characters of colors have been impacted by it in some way. And, supposedly, I'm supposed to believe that Marina, that Kate and Edwina, that they all had more privilege and power than Penelope? No, I don't think so, a lot of things aren't right with that statement.

#bridgerton #kate sharma #edwina sharma #lady danbury #queen charlotte #penelope featherington #penelope stans and/or polin stans do not interact if you can't be respectful!#even with her family's financial situation they still have more privilege & power than marina and the sharmas #pen didn't have the weight of finding a proper match be the end all be all for her fam (like edwina & kate)#penelope does whisltedown bc she wants too kate had to do the things she did bc she HAD to to support her family #marina even with being cousin to the featheringtons was about to be passed off to a man older than her with little guarantee that he's good #or would treat her and her child as they deserved #the whole point of the marriage market was to find someone who can provide for u bc that's your only option #literally what marina does #a common theme of all these black and brown women having to work to provide for themselves out of necessity #pen was writing before her family's situation was even known and writing nasty things primarily about women #also the “kate is a bridgerton now” falls flat bc all of this happened before she and anthony married #even still the stuff that pen wrote about her was wrong (and racially coded too)#anti penelope featherington
