A photo of a young Doug Emhoff from the 1980s goes viral
Joe Biden’s decision to quit the Presidential race has thrust his Vice President, Kamala Harris, into the spotlight. In turn, this has also significantly raised the profile of her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.Online this week, a photo of a young Mr Emhoff has gone viral.“i need Gen z to see this picture of Kamala’s husband in the 80s and make him TikTok’s white boy of the month,” said X user @onedankmomStay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!i need Gen z to see this picture of Kamala’s husband in the 80s and make him TikTok’s white boy of the month @SecondGentleman pic.twitter.com/qYeFS8kplX“White boy of the month” is what cultural observers call a tendency for social media users to find, and then obsess over, a new, cute white man (think Timothee Chalamet or Tom Hollander).
The white boy in question is generally regarded as unproblematic, may or may not be in an interracial relationship, and is typically someone followers of all ethnicities may project their fantasies upon.The tweet has quickly turned viral, with many agreeing that a young Emhoff fits the “white boy of the month” mold.Give him an English accent and there would be at least one Taylor Swift album about him.Doug!!!!
