It's all good, no worries.

I understand where your coming from. I've heard your points made many times by people I speak with about similar issues. I'm not trying to minimalize anyone's hurt over racial generalizations or mistrestments, trust me. But because of my own experieces with people taking things out of hand and almost wanting to find a problem concerning race when there really is nothing there, I can't help but stand by my opinion that lack of COCs in bandom fic is not an indication of racist/anti-color authors or readers. This fandom as a whole would just prefer to read about characters that are vastly white. I don't think that is grounds for arguing racial discrimination. People have different tastes in what they find attractive or interesting. *shrugs* You can't really argue with them for their opinion on what's hot or not.

(And as far as the hair thing, gah, I feel your pain. I hate it when people always ask me why my eyebrows are so thick. It's like, fuck, they're big, I don't color them in or try to make them look ~high fashion~. It's just the way they are.)
