i actually cannot understand why this anon, being a mixed race woman, as a problem with WOC representation, me as a mixed raced woman myself and a latina, im happy to see the representation here.

this fandom DO NOT respect or represent WOC enough.

as a mixed raced woman, she should understand how fucking difficult it is for us, growing up and always being told that we are “not white enough” or that we are “not black enough” is a fucking struggle too, not to talk about actual black people in general who have to work harder than a white person to have the same opportunities or jobs as they do.

if it’s “ridiculous” then why does almost every fanfiction that doesn’t specify race have always the same, white stereotypical characteristics for the reader? white people get everything and anything, but the moment a WOC gets something slightly similar it’s fucking “ridiculous”?

let’s talk about the hate WOC received for being casted in movies or shows instead of a white girl.

halle in little mermaid.

zendaya as mj in spider-man.

taylor russell in bones and all.

nico parker as astrid in how to train your dragon.

leah sava jeffries as annabeth chase in PJO.

avantika for a FANCAST as rapunzel.

francesca as juliette.

rachel zegler as lucy gray bird in TBOSAS (for not being “white nor black enough”).

and many, many more.

every month people will chose a white guy to hype up and a woc to bring down.

so yes, the woc representation is fucking important.

and YOU CLEARED THE ENTIRE FUCKING HOUSE DOWN.
