I think it's said with a certain degree of humor or irony, and is less a serious claim about the textual intent of Jane Austen.

Have you, like

ever been to tumblr

like ever

I mean I enjoy tumblr in many ways but the batshit is Real when it comes to projecting Special Diversity (head)canon onto their faves

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt but yes, exactly. I'm puzzled that ayrt thinks the likeliest explanation is that OP is misinterpreting a post about how Henry Tilney isn't white, as if Tumblr isn't very well known for people theorizing about various characters being canoncially POC by citing quotes.

[(Anonymous)]

Because of the way it was written.

[(Anonymous)]

It's written in a fairly recognizable tumblr style. I guess you could call it semi humorous. I don't think that necessarily means it's 100% just kidding, particularly since this is kind of tumblr's thing.

[(Anonymous)]

They still believe the myth that Beethoven was black (or the Mozart thing based on that silly ad).

[(Anonymous)]

That's possible, yes. I'm not sure how you can determine that is definitely the case here, or say for certain that OP is misinterpreting the post, however.

[(Anonymous)]

OK.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry if this whole thread is getting in the way of you wanting to believe that people aren't weird about characters being POC in canon. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter, but unfortunately, I've seen too many examples that suggest that people aren't necessarily kidding about this.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, I think it's less than entirely serious, OP disagrees, there's not much I can really say beyond that.
