Yeah I'm really done pretending that there isn't a huge racial bias in fandom, I've been in it long enough to see how most interracial ships, but especially those involving black characters, get ignored, erased, and tossed aside for a white one.

And pointing at the few interracial ships that actually do get some kind of notice doesn't change the fact that a majority of them don't, even when the dynamics are the exact kind that would get oodles of content if it was two white guys(or guy/girl) instead.

DA

Definitely agree. My current favorite ship is black guy/white guy and I'm basically the only one that ships it. I mean, yeah, it's a small/obscure fandom, but of the fics that exist, they're all of two white guys who have almost no interaction and don't have nearly the same insanely slashable dynamic as the pairing I ship. I feel like if they were both white it'd be way more popular.

AYRT.

You have my sympathies anon, it's always frustrating to be into a WC/CoC ship and watch as it's ignored by nearly everyone, especially when all the attention is given to a white-character ship with less screen-time or development. Excuses are always made 'it's just not shippable/interesting' but it stops being believable after a while.

And hey people can like what they like, I'm not forcing people to stop, I'm just refusing to add to the lie that fandom as a whole doesn't have a race-issue.

You have my interest piqued somewhat about your ship, but if it's small I can fully understand you not wanting to out yourself.

Maybe. But in the specific case of JD/Cox their chemistry is completely and utterly unlike JD and Turk. Plus Turk and Carla were a phenomenal couple - one of the few interesting het couples on TV. I just feel like you can't make this specific case about race.
