And according of Tumblr, POC cosplaying "white characters" (that usually are from anime and almost all characters are from Japan) is ok meanwhile white people cosplaying "POC characters" (even if they have light skin) is a big no.

I especially loved when everyone dogpiled the hispanic Korra cosplayer and accused her of brown face, then back pedaled when they found out her ethnicity. And that she was using her normal foundation, but it didn't match her current skin tone because she'd been purposefully avoiding getting her usual tan for another cosplay.

Lol i have a white friend on tumblr who was all "I can't cosplay Martha Jones cause I'm white! What is wrong with you for even suggesting it!" and I just kinda rolled my eyes. If you want to play Martha Jones, cosplay her for fuck's sake. If you do blatant blackface, yeah, that's racist. But just DRESSING UP as a black character is NOT WRONG, even if you're white, jesus christ.

Lmao, yeah, I don't get that line of reasoning at all. You can still cosplay Martha and make it pretty clear that you're her through use of costume and props without breaking out the shoe polish. The last part is the one where you need to start worrying. SMH at you, Tumblr.

they didn't back pealed. They just still claimed that using foundation to "dark your skin" still makes you wrong and racist.
