That recent thread makes me want to just un-exist.

Agreed

While I agree with the definition of systemic racism. I don’t think the people who hate white people in this fandom are racist. IMO in some cases it’s a love hate relationship where they feel inferior to white people (accepting Colourism as a beauty standard).

In other cases, they may have some trauma based on being victimised ( one person mentioned a genocide in Europe.

Definition:

Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.

Europe is not forcing certain entertainment industries to be colourist. It’s a choice. IMO, you can’t be so afraid of looking melanated and think you are superior to white people. That’s why people who can happily accept Colourism as no big deal, or even embrace it are often the most vocal haters of white people.
