There was a thread like this some days back right here on f!s where white people started educating Chinese(? they lived in Asia iirc) commenters on how they all wanted to be white because they were brainwashed by white media. The asian people were understandably surprised to hear that the white people believed that. I found the whole thing p. funny tbh.

So um, yeah. When people call any non-white character a POC it carries the unfortunate implication that they think anybody non-white anywhere is oppressed by white people regardless of the context the character is ICly in.

I agree with the comment below that there's a difference between calling Korra a "character of color" that we can all recognize is important from an audience perspective, and calling her a "person of color" when the idea of that doesn't even exist in her world.
