Victorious was not afraid to have it's main characters date each other.

So why did Andre never have any romantic plots with any of the main friend group?

I think it all has to do with Dan Schneider.

If you watch this video I bet you'll see what I'm getting at.

Let's dive in.

After seeing the conversation around Tori and Andre never dating, (i.e. Aggressively Average's The real reason Tori & Andre never dated (RACISM?) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuj9trYVLQI) video!) I wanted to take the discussion a step further. Today's video is on Victorious and how it seemed like a lot of the black women on this show were either a caricature or a stereotype. I also dig into how Dan Schneider just didn't know how to write black women characters.
