People above said it better but I can see author's point as it sounds skeevy when a white person calls a black one 'my precious, pure, innocent honeycinammon muffin' or similar. It sounds weird without politics but yeah.

Can see how people also think it sounds offensively alienating but it is an angry rant after all.

Why would it sound more skeevy than when the same person says the same thing about a character of any other race? Or when someone of another race says it?

This. I see people talking about white characters like that literally every day. Talking about black characters that way is just treating them the same as any other character.

White bread/mayonnaise/cracker characters are fandoms cum receptacles. You can just treat them like trash and say whatever you like about them but every other race should be raised on a pedestal as something to ethereal and pure. Bow down. YASSS QUEEN SLAY!

Cannot answer that really well as not familiar with history enough.

Would say it is context such as eugenics - there used to be a vile theory stating that black people are less intelligent, more like children and 'connected to nature'. Essentially, widespread belief of that died officially in 80s which is quite recent.

I am looking it from a disabled point of view as infantilisation is common but it has different context.
