I say this with love, but if you're worried about what white people think or how you're seen by them, the problem might be yours and not theirs.

Your worth is not based on how other people, of any colour see you. And certainly not on how you imagine or fear that they see you.

Yes, there used to be very few depictions of people of colour. Certainly positive depictions. It's hugely important that that's changed. But black people have grown up for centuries with full awareness of their value and worth, even without those depictions.
