Errr...Psych fandom was like wayyy before the huge boom of overzealous social justice. And this explanation falls super flat in terms of Gus because there is nothing "stereotypically black" about him that could be construed as problematic if white writers went off the deep end of badfic falls for him. He's a motivated, middle class guy with goals in life and a steady job, he doesn't speak in AAVE so white writers aren't going to try to sound out the accent in fic and come off as super clueless at best, racist at worst ("yooooo wassup mah dawgs, ah am just a regolurrr black dood, ya diggit mah hohmieees?").

I have honestly never seen anyone pick on white writers writing interracial romance(especially if it's a ship thing and not original fiction) to be quite honest. That feels more like a straw man people will use to justify their casual racism and why they don't ship black characters EVER. I'm not calling you out, I just want to point that out, that every time I see this as an excuse by someone it's someone who has at some point tried to defend their "lack of attraction to black people" (and it's always black people lol people will ship the ever lovin' fuck out of a middle eastern man and a white man, a latino man and a white man, [insert the rest of the races here]) and then they kinda settle on this to "defend" it.
