@goosieboosie, actually no, because we don’t go around screaming “race doesn’t matter” and pretending to be colorblind. We recognize the importance of racial representation, which is exactly why its so bad when potentially leading POC characters are whitewashed, once again pushing minorities into the roles of victims, villains, and decoration, only given the spotlight when needed to play to and reinforce pre-existing racial stereotypes. Race in the media does matter. We never pretend it doesn’t. No hypocrisy. No irony.



But white people screaming about “colorblind” and falling back on that “best person for the job” bullshit excuse lie, but then want to turn around when its their characters getting cast a different shade.
