It was rude, as is the mutual backrub in the two posts above. It’s frustrating to take part in an argument where two people are eagerly shaking hands over how not-racist they are.
if you want to have a mature discussion with me, please don’t do it. I have very little patience with these arguments after having dealt with them for years and being silenced and dogpiled.

[MOD NOTE] I’m going to have to politely ask you and everyone else to drop it with the personal accusations. If this discussion can’t be handled with respect, then I will close it. Please take into careful consideration that we all have our own vital opinions, and shouldn’t be talked down to. This is a very political based discussion, so it’s not unbelievable that folks won’t necessarily share the same opinion. [MOD NOTE]
racism isn’t an opinion just so we’re clear on that much. it’s only an opinion if you’re not affected by it. it’s not “politics”. it’s something that directly affects people’s lives in an unambiguous way. so i’d like if we can at least agree on the fact that racism in the media and OUAT’s representation of minorities is an issue.
i need to clear this if this is going to be a space that PoC feel they can take part in.

That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that various opinions have been stated in this thread and in other threads. My point still stands to be respectful of that. Politics do not just relate to government issues. The base definition of the word is “of, for, or relating to citizens.” Race issues fit under that. And yes OUAT’s representation of minorities is a clear issue.
Without voicing my opinion because I am in the minority here I just want to point out that when discussing PoC you need to divide by ethnic background, as well as race. Lana is Latina which is an ethnolinguistic group not a race. You could even further divide into subgroups based on these ethnolinguistic groups within North America and other countries.
Also, something interesting is that in the USA one decides race and/or ethnic background based on the paternal side. That is why President Obama is referred to as African American even though his mother is white. Also, my siblings on considered African American on their birth certificates for the same reason, even if their skin color appears white.

Effectively immediately, this thread is closed until Matt, Daniel and I make a decision on what to do. There are some hurt feelings on both sides, and we aren’t the kind of site that is going to tolerate that.
Thank you for understanding
