No it isn't. Not all the fandom is that way. But a huge portion of it is. And I've not seen any of what the OP is saying anywhere in the fandom.

Well, I have. People who promote the idea that the ruling class not liking you is the most defining aspect of what being non-white *is* are ridiculously willing to attack anyone who disagrees. Latin Americans, Middle Easterners, and Asians bear the brunt of this blanket dismissal, because indoctrinated "allies" don't hesitate to claim they're not REALLY non-white. (Never mind that they would be touted as PoC if they kept quiet or were conforming better to white people's stereotypes of how oppressed people act and feel!) But black people are not exempt if they push back, either.

Star Wars fandom on Tumblr was chock-full of this nonsense during the sequel trilogy. I met PoC teenagers who were publicly accused of being racists for writing fanfics that presented PoC characters as struggling realistically with character flaws and plausible vices. (If a fic shows Han Solo hitting the bottle, no one bats an eye, but allegedly Poe Dameron must be written as a credit to his race? When you put their arguments bluntly, they're outrageously offensive.) I could point you to the page of another fan who weathered an organized mobbing for saying that Finn and Rey were rightly treated by the First Order as enemy combatants, because you don't get to keep being classified as an "innocent civilian" after picking up guns and shooting soldiers with them. That person was half-black, herself, but that did not matter. The social justice rhetoric that's wielded like a cudgel in supposedly leftist fandom circles is used against anyone who doesn't pay lip service to it. PoC are treated like a convenient figleaf and shamefully attacked if they won't they play along.

Or they were - I have no reason to believe that's changed, and the OP's post doesn't make me think so, but I left, too.
