...And that makes it 'okay' for anyone to make racist/sexist comments...how? Because that, plus the whole 'EW, AMERICA' thing [that always happens when anything is a remake, warranted or not], seems to be the main problem most of the people I've talked to about it have.

...

Where did I say that? Where, in my discussion of the origins of the show that doesn't even mention the idea of Watson as a WOC, did I say that the dodgy origins of the show makes it "okay" for someone to make sexist/racist comments?

My response was intended to point out a sane, non-racist, non-sexist, reason why CBS' version hasn't been received well by the Sherlock fandom. This attitude was long in effect before Watson was genderswapped and Liu was cast. I'm sorry I didn't put a disclaimer saying "btw, this doesn't excuse the batshit portion of fandom making racist and/or sexist comments". I would've thought that was obvious.

Naw, Brits are just generally "ew, American". They're kind of douches about their former colony.

Americans ask for it.

[(Anonymous)]

In fairness, a not insubstantial number of Americans are frequently "ew, American", not to mention people from innumerable other countries. I don't think it's a former colony thing, although I suppose that might contribute. Can you provide corroborating examples of British attitudes towards other former colonies?
