OP - You'll no doubt be astounded to learn it was Dragon Age fandom that prompted my initial rant too. Klandom. Oh my God. That doesn't even make sense. Surely the last thing a KKK member would want is someone of another race on screen all the time.

Like, the thing is, the INCREDIBLY passionate response was on a poll that is REALLY full of holes. Like, the poll-runner freely admitted to not asking for demographics of who played white avatars, so there's that big missing component.

And also: FOR CHRISSAKES IT WAS SOMEONE RUNNING A TUMBLR POLL. Everything involved in that has to be taken with a HUUUUUUGE grain of salt. Like, just off the top of my head, here are things that come to mind:

Some folks may just NOT WANT to divulge their race online. Some folks may be biracial and get deeply uncomfortable having to decide whether they get to 'count' as one or the other. Some folks might worry that disclosing their preference would get them harassed. Also, it might depend on the demographics of the followers and rebloggers of the original poster.

What I'm saying is, there are LOTS of reasons that might weight the results. You know?
