Nobody ever says this about mediocre white women, or any POC of any gender
Seems to me that these people want to date people of high social status/privilege in society - and due to mediocre white men’s complete lack of any highly positive qualities - by virtue of being “mediocre” - can more easily be stripped back to only being viewed as white and a man as the sole standing “positive qualities”, making them a more pure symbol of status/privilege
Wouldn’t having a cool personality disqualify them from being mediocre
You can have a great personality and not much else
Considering the wide range of shitty that people can be, having a great personality and not being terrible is pretty high up there tbh
