(Anonymous) 2026-03-19 03:05 am (UTC)(link)"My second biggest issue is that most POC in modern stuff are just generic white American (and usually suburban) characters who happen to be played by POC."
IMO, this can cut both ways. On the one hand, I'm not comfortable with the idea that a POC character has to be super ethnic in order to count. Some of us are basic bitches. I grew up in the Midwest, I don't speak the native language of the place I was born. My family has retained some of the traditions of the old country, but also adapted many traditions of the place we moved to ,i.e. the generic mostly-white suburbs.
To a lot of white people, my appearance marks me as foreign, period. To the people of my own background, I seem white... and American. It's an uncomfortable place where one group considers you to be too Other and your own peeps think you're not ethnic enough to be considered a True POC.
