Maybe the reason that people keep saying this is that, for some of us, it's the truth. I'm not sure how else to say that. Sorry.

What I am trying to get across is that if, for you, that is the truth, if you honestly and truly don't believe that you, in particular, are not having a problem writing people because of their race/ethnicity, if in a past fannish life you wrote about HBP-compliant Blaise Zabini, or Sulu, or Jake Sisko, or whatever, if you for serious and for real have reason to think you are not part of the problem … protesting your innocence makes you part of the problem and makes you look like the bad guy, because the cumulative effect of all of those people saying, "But I just like these white guys better, it has nothing to do with race," is to say, "Fandom uses CoC for fanactivity less than white guys because white guys are sexier/more deeply written/more numerous/more gay/better."
