Who's making these things with only images of white women?

Because it's not like those are the only options. There's the new Star Trek captain coming up, and the characters from the new A Wrinkle In Time. We've just had a Polynesian Disney princess, and an Asian woman as John Watson, and a fantasy!Inuit woman as the Avatar. The most recent season of Doctor Who had a black lesbian as the companion! Any discussion of race on Who that pretends people weren't excited about her, or acts like she never existed in the first place, has got something skeevy and dishonest going on.

So if people are making "let's celebrate women!" photosets that are all-white, that's a problem of racism. If people are making "why are only these women getting celebrated?" photosets that are all-white, that sounds like a problem of "SJWs" editing out facts that don't fit the narrative they want. (And I've seen at least one case that was definitely the latter.)

Bill is hardly the first black female companion. It's the lesbian part that makes her different.

Everybody forgets about Martha. -_-;;

Who said Bill was the first?

People were excited about Martha too. A role going to one black actress doesn't mean we have to stop being excited about any other black actress getting the job. (Any more than Janeway or Rey already leading a major sci-fi franchise means we have to stop being excited for Thirteen.)

Especially if your complaint is "she was hardly the first! She was the second. It's totally meaningless now."
