So, when people ask me why I won’t shut up about racism in fandom and let people enjoy themselves, I’m going to think back on this moment.

I log onto the Internet, eating my favorite pasta and looking forward to Elementary, when bam, racist bullshit shows up as a reply to one of my posts. This shit happens at least once a day, and that’s a good day. Yet no one seems to give a damn about my enjoyment of fandom. Folks want to talk about fandom being an escape, when I can’t even safely escape there?

the thing about racebending though is that, for me, it’s not so much a what-if, or a thought experiment, or really all that much about PoC representation in the media—which is very much important, don’t get me wrong—but for me, racebending isn’t a statement, so much as it is a personal adjustment that turns media that is alienating and very often hostile to me into something that’s safe and that I can engage in more comfortably.

The fact that I
am writing to you
in English
already falsifies what I
wanted to tell you.
My subject:
how to explain to you that I
don’t belong to English
though I belong nowhere else.

I can simultaneously be angry with white supremacy and love white people. I can be in love with a white woman and hate her ignorance at her own white privilege. I can get so frustrated with racism that I barely want to be around any white people, and I can share that with my white friends over a few drinks.

You might think that’s confusing. You might even call it hypocrisy. I call it being a person of color.

Do people honestly think oppressed folk WANT to be angry all the time?

I mean, jesus christ, if I could make it through the day without reading a book, watching a TV show, or interacting with people without anything making me feel like I’d been cut I’d fucking love it.

i wish that i had a little bar above my shoulder like characters do in video games, but instead of showing my health or energy it would measure my human interaction limit. and once it filled up everyone would know that i had maxed out on socialization and would know to leave me alone to recharge.

“
Studies have shown, that, indeed, introverts are more likely than extroverts to express intimate facts about themselves online that their family and friends would be surprised to read, to say that they can express the “real me” online, and to spend more time in certain kinds of online discussions. They welcome the chance to communicate digitally. The same person who would never raise his hand in a lecture hall of two hundred people might blog to two thousand, or two million, without thinking twice. The same person who finds it difficult to introduce himself to strangers might establish a presence online and then extend those relationships into the real world.

“
I am a woman of colour with a deep – almost unhealthy – love of popular culture. It is a love that is sorely tested in the face of such prejudice when I am told, loudly and with few qualms, that the stories of people who look like me just aren’t viable in a specific universe. It is often explicitly stated by my co-fans that I am not – ever – what they picture when they read these books or hear about these movies. The language may be coded: “She’s not how I imagined” or, in the case of interracial couple Sam and Mercedes on TV’s Glee, slightly more explicit: “They don’t look right together, like, they don’t … fit.” But the message is clear. We get to be supporting characters – the redshirts – or the villains. But heroes? Um, no. That would make things too … ethnic.
