okay well ass u me about making assumptions about your race. i did not realize that you identified as poc (or were non-white, if you don't click with that term).

i still think that its not okay to tell people that they are too sensitive when they feel parts of their identities are being disappeared, ignored, or attacked.

i also think that people often consider that when people of color bring up "little" racial misunderstandings that they are not acknowledging the ways that our experiencing of these things are systemic and therefore continuous. no the first time someone asks me why my hair is that this texture it doesn't seem like that big a deal. given that the question is asked at least once a week...i will bite your head off if you bring it up.

i disagree with you that it is unreasonable to assume that part of the reason people don't read fic about CoC's is because of race issues in whatever country/continent/part of the world. because racism is a pervasive and often unconscious system that affects our ways of seeing the world that we are often not conscious of.

and i will vehemently disagree that race is simply an "issue" to latch onto and that really isn't there or isn't nearly as big. we are all racialized. therefore any interaction between people invokes race because it is part of makes us who we are. we might or might not identify with all the things that other people ascribe to that part of us. but we are all racialized.

but back to my original point of this post that i am sorry for assuming you were white based on your comments. that was not okay.
