I love how every person who gets all up on the appropriation of hair thing conveniently shuts the fuck up when you show them evidence that Celts and Vikings both wore dreadlocks and practiced tattooing.

No wait they don't, they just say that just cause some white people did it, doesn't mean it's part of "white culture", cause all white cultures are the same to them.

It's literally a hairstyle. These idiots need to get over it.

Otherwise, they should also be complaining about black women ironing their hair to straighten it. Arguably, that's a lot more fucking racist (even though it actually isn't) and anyone who wants to do that should be allowed to do it without being sperged at by a bunch of obsessed assholes picking at everyone in sight.

That's because they're victims of enforced assimilation and have to straighten their hair to survive this white, oppressive world. (To get jobs, not be disrespected, ect.)

Maybe if their natural hairstyle wasn't solely associated with members of one race, they wouldn't have to. You know, if it was just considered a normal hairstyle worn by people of all races.
 
Remember when racial equality meant looking beyond skin color and ethnicity, being equals and letting it go so you could enjoy people for who they are? Here, even if you're white and dating outside your race, the subject of skin color must be constantly obsessed over, you are not allowed to pipe up if your feelings are hurt for shallow reasons (skin color) or you're frustrated, if you date too many PoC or from one certain group you're a fetishist and you must realize 24/7 that you are different and a reminder of everything wrong with society.
 
I came across this article: 8 Things White Fans Can Do To Make Fandoms More Inclusive. There are some decent points, I have my own counter-parts.

1) Let a character be: We don't usually mind if you make a character another race as an artistic experiment, but constantly making them a mannish, ugly, fat tranny is pushing it. If the character is supposed to clearly be a CIS HET, white and attractive, please respect that.

2) Speaking of Designs: Your "less problamatic designs for female characters usually stink. They're too bland, casual and forget who they are and what they do.

3) Calm down on racial casting: We'll be fine with race-bent casting, but please stop throwing fits when an established character who is supposed to be white is casted with a white actor in a movie or show. It's not cool when you guys act like its the most disgust thing in the world.

4) Calm Thy Tits: (I felt dirty typing that.) Everything is not an attack or microagression against you or a certain group of people. Just because some guy(s) says a female PoC is his waifu, doesn't mean it's evil and racist.

5) Give us some love: We'll respect your feels if you also respect who we are. If whites are to constantly check their words, privileges and actions, why not do the same for us? Instead of acting like our views are tainted if we write about or draw a POC.

Remember, only White people do bad things in fandoms.

1.Unless it's set in most of Europe, then all right.

2. Using the term People of Color is lazy and actually racist.

3. They're right, but don't expect racebending to always be good.

4. Hypersensitivity won't drive people away from you. Just be specific and helpful, but most of you won't.

5.I'll give them this; too many shitty female characters get shilled by fandoms.

6. I'm a Blac-person of color and a woman. In theory, I could call out SJW fans.

7. Same goes for people like you and tumblr.

8. Social Justice isn't a hobby or a fandom, but you all treat it like one.

1) It's still no excuse, even if it's set in the Dark ages.
3) It should only be fair to racebend characters into white ones. I say that happen once at the result was rather ho-hum.
5) That's sad, but true.
6) You could. :) I'm a quarter-Japanese, high-functioning autistic, possibly bi with anxiety issues. I wonder how much impact I can have.

Text dump incoming...
1)Most writers in the Anglophere, I'm guessing, are white. Thus, they tend to create white characters. The same reason African American writers tend to create African American characters, but the SJWs don't seem to have a problem with that. There is this persistent idea that white artists need to cater to non-white people as if they owed them. If you want to read stories with African mythology, African perspectives and starring African characters, why don't they buy African books? How many young, black writers are desperate for an audience while these people just bitch that JK Rowling didn't make enough black wizards or Stan Lee didn't make Spiderman black? Support the art you want to see.

2)Well, Dark Age Europe would have been almost entirely white. Not entirely, but almost entirely. The way SJWs talk about them, you'd think European demographics were more or less the same as they are today. If I made a game set in pre-colonial Africa and had a few white characters thrown in for diversity you bet your arse the SJWs would have a fit and the "historical accuracy" line would be everywhere.

3)So white=no diversity? Are we like an ingredient added to a dish that strips it of flavour and colour? Are they so shallow that you cannot see beyond skin colour? Why am I even asking that; of course they are.

4)This generally correct and the only thing that annoys me is the implication that PoC fans wouldn't have a skewed view of white characters. What the author seems to be saying is that white fans need to be careful because they don't understand non-whites but non-whites automatically understand whites.

5)Again, I agree with this. Drawing attention to attempts to apease SJWs generally come off as forced and artificial. Just making good characters who speak for themselves is all a writer has to do.

6)It's hard to always listen to people when you get barraged with SJW ridiculousness and politically correct dogma everyday. I'd like to see this "anti-black" black character and why the person complained about it. Knowing SJWs, their complaints probably were worthy of a laugh.

7)So they want us to just sit their quietly while we get berated because our efforts weren't good enough? Like this?

8)Social Justice does have a place, but it is sitting at the back of the class with permission to speak only when it has something good to say and absolutely not leaning over the shoulders of artists telling them what to do.

They also don't realize that back in the dark ages Germanic and Slavic peoples were seen as non-white (and in ancient history we still have an anti germanic bias, check your mediterranean privilege)

And, as those biases faded, they were replaced with new ones. Even being "white" wasn't enough, considering Italians and Irish faced a lot of discrimination for being Catholic when they immigrated to America, by SJW logic, that doesn't happen because white is white...... even 19th century prejudices were more nuanced than your average SJW.

In some parts of the South, Italians had to attend black schools because they just weren't considered white people. The KKK committed hate crimes against Catholics as well as black people.

Basically, history's not just black and white. (Oy...)

In this issue of Everyday Feminism, the comic artist does a little too much LSD and hallucinates a race of creepy doll people who are lectured about menstruation by a magical talking uterus.

Not to be too creepy but those drawings remind me of that deep web creepypasta where a guy makes living dolls.
 
So I'll see if I can find the article again but I reckon there being bitching about a lack of "trans women of colour" having representation in literature. My only response regarding that is, if it's a big enough problem then why don't these so called writers write stories with characters like that? I mean, as writers they should understand at least a little that if they see something in a particular genre they don't like then they should be able to write their own content.

Then again they bitched about game of thrones not having fat-autistic-obese trannies of colour so I shouldn't be surprisef

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It'd be like the latest string of Anita feminism, where you complain about the lack of women in video games, despite there actually being tons of them. If the facts don't fit the narrative, disregard the facts.
