DA

I just find it stupid because while my group does get a lot of representation in the media (now) I've literally never felt an inability to identify and connect with characters that don't ~represent me. Still don't, in fact tend not to identify with the characters that supposedly do represent me, only now dumbasses can't seem to shut up about how I totally should identify with and love them more than the characters I actually do identify with.

I can see where that'd be tiresome. Like you, I still find characters to identify with, even if they don't share my race. But I also allow for the fact that there are POCs who grew up far more marginalized than I did, who might have a greater need than I did/do to see themselves represented in the media. I'm not going to dismiss their need just because I didn't feel it to the same degree.
