Yes, Jessi, of course I Assumed you were White

[lizwinlove]

 My first exposure to Sunny was in Dawn's Book from the Portrait collection. Jessi is always going on and on about how "you wouldn't know I was black unless I told you because you would just assume I was white". Well until Dawn actually MENTIONS Sunny's hair color I thought she was black. Especially because of her mom, who seemed like one of those

Oh, but I always think of California (in the BSC universe) as the land where every single person is white and blonde. Seriously, the idea of Dawn having a black friend in Palo City is, like, mind-blowing. Like it would HAVE to be a fanfic where through some bizarre rift in the space-time continuum California and New Jersey are mashed together in the clouds above Iowa or something.

Well Dawn did have a token hispanic friend in the diaries although she does describe herself as more of Maggie's friend if anything.

Ditto. Besides, if Sunny's mother were Southern, you KNOW they'd be typing out some awful accent for her to have.
