F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I do think that was kind of stupid, but I can kind of see where they were coming from? Especially coming from tumblr, where I kept hearing about Redd (claims to be Latina, passes as white in their pictures, claims they're ~so oppressed~), it can be frustrating to see someone who looks white, and yet they keep talking about how they're totally a POC, and totally get to talk over anyone else, and they totally are the One True Keeper of the definition of racism.

The problem is, Ricardo Mantelban was around in the 1960's, where things (race-wise) were different.

Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, I'm trying to form my thoughts, but it's not working that well, I feel like.

RICARDO MONTALBAN IS NOT WHITE. OKAY? OKAY.

I know he's not, but I can easily see why people who are used to the tumblr/net culture of "you have to be ~super oppressed or you're a ~horrible person" and thusly the claim of opression!!!!!1!!! from people who "pass" in such a way that no one would know they're oppressed, but still use that to claim superiority over others (which is a long round about way of saying REDD) might do a double take at someone who looks "white" being called a POC, though the time period *needs* to be taken into account.
