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.

I've given up hope on the anonmeme since... Well, since it was created, really, because I never really had any hope about it in the first place. Anonmemes are bound to go that way anyway... But it's always disapointing to see to what depths it can sink.

the anonmeme is problematic in many ways, but for most of its life stuff like this was shut down really fast. which has not been happening recently. trolls are co-opting issues and making it a pain in the ass to read any thread, let alone contribute positively. very lame.
