When the same terms are used equally regardless of race, then why is it so much different for just one? That doesn't make any sense.

Because context exists.

And the context is "this is the language used in collective fandoms to engage with characters they like."

Fandom doesn't exist in a fucking vacuum and is still subject to historical and societal context. I would also add that just because fandom as a whole does something doesn't make that something okay.

And it's racist on its' face.

Okay, but if I'm the type of person who is prone to talking like that regardless, I have two options: a) walk on eggshells, making sure to scrub any sort of the normal fandom from my way of speaking or b) say screw it and watch a movie with White characters with whom I can use all the diminuitives and familial tones I want. If this movie has zero fandom because you've scared off everyone who might want to participate I'm going to laugh and laugh and laugh, and cry a little because we are never going to have a fun and active fandom for minority characters, and then I'm going to laugh some more.
