I mean want it to be real but every time I see posts like this I have that same thought
We’re used to a lot of owners and managers of convenience stores (I think this includes corner stores?) and gas stations being naturalized citizens and foreign nationals. Idk how that got started or how widespread it is, how much of it is a true demographic vs confirmation bias of what we see portrayed in entertainment and media—but either way there is a clear concept of people in that line of work, true or not.
Of course I say this as an American assuming every random stranger on the internet I see commenting on a post I’m reading to be an American as well, so I’m not entirely sure if this idea holds up in other countries as well.
If it is true I’d be curious to know the reason why the demographic exists, specifically what it is that attracts non-native citizens

Oh wow I can’t believe Cynthia Erivo used to look like a human being. I very much believe people should look however they want, and style themselves in a way that makes them happy instead of trying to appeal to others or mainstream sensibilities—admittedly though looking at that image it’s kind of hard for me to understand why she would want to look like that
