the failening
this probably doesn't need to be said to anyone who will actually read it, but i thought i'd make it clear nontheless. statements that are inappropriate in all circumstances:
Also, while it's not exactly on the subject, I'd be unwilling to accept a Doctor that is non-Caucasian appearing. And no, this is not due to any latent racist views on my part. I just don't see the character working that way.
I don't want a black Doctor. Because I want to fancy him and I don't really find black men attractive.
saying the doctor can't be non-white because the character doesn't "work that way"? racist. justifying not wanting a black doctor because you don't find black men attractive? racist. no, this is not up for debate. this should be clear, and yet apparently isn't to some people. mentioning that statements like this are racist is not an attack against whoever might have said it. it's a statement of fact. if someone says something racist they can own up to the racism of their statement or try and explain it away, it doesn't change facts.
i was much wordier in other places but ya'll shouldn't need this to be explained to you so i think we're good.

the classism troll is very awful because they're co-opting an issue that's quite important to the main show but pretending it has no basis there. it's very annoying. sry but SJA's middle-class atmosphere is a hundred times better than making rose "better" than her worker class surroundings. ugh.
