Netflix's Emily In Paris and Lupin have been runaway hits, but they have also been criticized for lacking Black women in any major speaking roles. In French popular media, this glaring omission is actually pretty standard:
. These touchpoints all come together to serve a narrative that positions France as a safe haven for Black people and a respite for the ills of American institutional racism, fostering goodwill and political capital amongst its expatriate community while in the midst of negotiating independence treaties across multiple countries throughout the 60s and 70s as one of the largest colonial empires in the African continent and greater Black diaspora.
It is for this reason that the invisibility you see onscreen in shows set in France is the most accurate reflection of the Black French reality today — Black women are underbooked and only selected to be typecast. The exceptions happen in roles where they have more control behind the camera and of the story, in which case they usually don't get the institutional support they should.
