Chapter 27 of ACOWAR

When I first read ACOWAR and got to the part where Mor is having a breakdown about her dad entering Velaris but Rhysand tells her that he won't get in, nothing really was going through my mind. But something clicked today...

This. Just this. This paragraph made me realize that this is Jim Crow. Sarah Janet Maas, did you create the fairy version of Jim Crow? Has anyone else notice this?

In the late 19th century, these laws were created in the Southern part of the US which legalized racial segregation of the black community and other people of color. Black and white students attended separate schools, with black schools typically receiving far less funding and resources. Restaurants, theaters, hotels, parks, drinking fountains, you name it, were segregated.

Black people weren't welcomed almost anywhere. Signs that said "whites only" to keep them away and racists who would get agitated over a black person coming near their establishment. Lynch mobs chasing them, burning buildings associated with the black community, etc.

This also reminds me of ICE or border patrol. The people who deal with immigrants and will send them back to their countries, the same country that they left behind so that they can have a better life for themselves and their family.

Imagine finally leaving Hewn City. You feel a mix of emotions but happiness is one that fills you. You're finally free and you can see the world now! When you go to Velaris, you notice that some things are strange. People look at you funny, they treat you almost as if you're a criminal, they don't serve you at restaurants, they won't let you have a place of shelter, and you can't even have fun. It clicks in your head that this is not a safe, welcoming place for people like you. When it comes to an end, you're sent back into the darkness that you were came from, where you were born from, and you wonder if you'll ever see the light again.

I'm the daughter of two immigrants who left their country due to a civil war and they haven't been back since they left. When they came to America, it was all before shit like that was more serious so they were lucky not to deal with this crap. In many African countries (including my own), we have tribes AKA ethnic groups. Sarah's description of Illyria and the Illyrians makes me think of the dumb stereotypes of Africans. That we live in huts, that we hunt with bow and arrows or spears, that we're primitive, etc. You can tell in Sarah's writing that she has never actually experienced the things she writes.

I feel sad reading this again and knowing what that's the equivalent of. The woman doesn't even bother to hide her racism. Who am I kidding? If she used a black woman's death to promote her book, she can do shit like this! Sarah, you little white-privileged bitch.

How the Illyrians are portrayed as violent, savage, warmongering people who have a patriarchal system and are based on brown/indigenous people remind of George RR Martin's portrayal of the Dothraki who are nomadic warriors that are seen as brutes, warmongers, people who don't have any respect for their natural surroundings, have a patriarchal system, and their men treat women worse than the Illyrians. These guys are based on the Mongolians. I know George wrote this in the 90s and stuff but there had to be something based on portraying a culture into your fictional story.

My honest reaction to Sarah creating the fairy equivalent of the Jim Crow laws and ICE/border patrol:

Me realizing that if there's major problem that different groups of POC faces, she'll somehow put it in her books so that her white main characters can face it, so that they can finally be the ones that get oppressed:

SJM when you tell her that making her white main characters go through and face problems that people of color have struggled and dealt with for years isn't right:

~there are actually respected scholars of the field who~

Name one.

Name me one single contemporary anthropologist in good academic standing that is respected as an authority on Native American gender politics.

I'll give you a hint: IF YOU CANNOT ANSWER THE QUESTION YOU ARE TOO IGNORANT TO SPEAK ON THE FUCKING TOPIC AND THAT IS WHY YOU WERE NOT GODDAMN INVITED TO SPEAK ON IT

Mixed kid life is just realizing you lowkey hate white people

[pinkpinkmermayyy]

whenever a white person makes a post on tumblr about how people should just "calm down" and "take a break" an angel slowly and painfully dies from the sheer privilege, ignorance and stupidity that white person reeks of

[faeleven]

they literally made it so easy to see with ricky too like. he wasn’t even born into finetime. he made the active choice to spend lots of money to move to a racist bubble built on an “abrogation” . if he decided to move to nazi germany in 1939 would you object to people calling him a nazi? stop being willfully blind.

[the-fox-jawed-witch]

Why is it always white people who agitate spirits and cultures that don't belong to them in attempts to stir up the spirits? And then when the spirits do respond, the white people always call them evil spirits???

[pathologising]

"are u insane ww2 was brutal and people died which is why we needed a bomb to kill millions of people of color to stop it" like do you hear yourselves

[antiarasaka]

I hate white people and if you think this means you then you need to get off my blog ASAP and think about your place in the world.

[datastate]

idk who needs to hear this but i don't want to have the determination of electing someone who has literally systematically killed my family conveyed through extremely online memes or gags. it's not fucking gallows humor if you or people close to you haven't been killed lmao have some tact

[jainkoa]

I think you can learn so much about a person based off of their favourite bit of vampire media. I’ll go first mine is What We Do in the Shadows (movie and tv show) and Blade (just the character in general).

I'm so fucking goddamn tired and all I do is work myself to death in a failing attempt to pay rent and I come on this stupid White website and all the White Stupidity comes careening out and you know what I get to do then?

Go to work until I pass out and STILL NOT MAKE RENT
