I don't know if this really holds so much water when Dick's heritage was effectively Devin Grayson's headcanon, which she canonized (and that's not intrinsically a bad thing imo). Putting aside who gets headcanoned as what and the undertones it sometimes has, this is, as far as headcanons go, pretty harmless

Explain to me why Latino Jason is a thing? He is not Latino!

Tim is not Chinese or Vietnamese!

How the fuck are they a thing? Like, yes headcanons are good but do remember that Dick, Damian, Duke, and Cass are the ones who are not white.

Bruce, Tim, and Jason are caucasian.

Bruce has two white kids and four of other races.

REMEMBER THAT YOUR HEADCANONS ARE NOT REAL!

They are just headcanons.

#dc meta #batfam meta #i do think who gets headcanoned as what does kind of carry some weird vibes sometimes #like its a little suspect that as a broad trend the poor kid who lives on the streets is coded as latino #whereas the nerdy kid often read as autistic by the fandom is often asian #and you dont see the reverse too often #sometimes versions of this get kind of pernicious #like steph is a middle class kid whose family suffers from drug addiction #and its kind of important that the narrative is like #pointedly showing that thats not a “poor person problem”#and then fanon often ignores this and depicts her as growing up in crime alley #with the implication that her life and family and problems just “seem poor”
