A lot of people I know didn't want to romance him because the power dynamics skeeved them out. Some said they felt like since they had such an influence on him moving on he needed more time to really know what he wanted and time to breathe instead of jumping into a new relationship. Others talked about taking advantage of a mourning man.

I haven't heard of people not doing it because he's black though. Is tumblr really pushing that?

Any time someone doesn't ship a character of color, Tumblr SJWs blame racism. It gives them an excuse to yell at you, and they will take any and every excuse they can find.

*sigh* I should not be surprised.

Basically this.

Even if you have a reason behind that has nothing to do with race/ethnicity, they will latch onto it in a way that hi-jacks your intentions, like: By saying you would NEVER want to romance him, a gay male CoC...

aaaand it tends to go on from there, ime.

Welcome to the tumblr Bioware fandom, and so many others. Although I admit I kinda wonder, whenever someone adamantly vents about "because I'm white" if something else didn't happen to top it off. A lot of people don't need much of a reason to go for the throat, but it still pings me the wrong way.

Though I do think the OP's opinion on Shepard's relationship with Cortez is very sweet, and it's a more than valid point, don't get me wrong.
