But don't you know? It's "racist" not to ship a black woman (especially with a white man) because black female sexuality has been demonized and black women never got to be the "princess." Or the love interest. So to deny them that is "misogynoir."

Believe me, I had this shouted at me enough times to remember it by heart.

Oh and WHITE FEMINISM.

You took a secret that said it's not about race then made it all about race. GJ

Did you miss WHY the OP made this secret in the first place? Here's a hint: because if you say you don't want Ichabbie to happen because you prefer them as friends, you get called racist.

Hence why OP said:

"Secret b/c 'racist'!"

They can't say it in fandom without being called racist.

You are sooooo lucky if you haven't run into the "if you don't ship ichabbie you're literally hitler" contingent. I don't ship anything on that show, honestly, and I'm so invested in their friendship, but nope! I'm a racist, misogynist piece of shit!

Have they even seen The Princess and the Frog?

OK, the guy isn't Anglo-Saxon, he's ambiguously north African southwest Asian east African Archipelagic vaguely Balkan subcontinental a gypsy from the Moon, but the female lead is very definitely black, and gets to be the princess.

I thought Naveen was supposed to be Arab?

He's supposed to be racially ambiguous, afaik.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-23 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No they likened it to Brazil. He's Southern American apparently.

That was the vibe I got right off, the name notwithstanding.

ayrt

Seriously, he's meant to be pretty ambiguous, from a fictitious country. Is it more like Syria, Iran, Albania, Brazil, Goa, or Zanzibar? Um, sure, whatever.

ps

And I'm cool with that. It works. He could be from anywhere. But he's definitely from "other, nonspecified."

Why an Anglo-Saxon love interest for a non-white woman is better? I´m happy(as a POC) with the POC female being the "princess". I don´t give a rat ass if she bang a black, white, latino, etc dude and actually I rather don´t have romance at all. I don´t watch that show so I don´t know the context I admit.

It's just "Let me dress up my fantasies as SJ so you can't even have a personal preference against it without being oppressive".

(Anonymous) 2015-03-24 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm getting pretty sick of tumblr's "if you're a white cisgendered woman you don't count as a woman anymore" shit.
