I've been cosplaying since 2002, and the only people I've seen this from are SUPER HARDCORE SJW? OTOH I've seen a lot of black cosplayers get flack for cosplaying white characters.

(Anyway, no one seems to have a problem with white people cosplaying anime characters, which are Japanese most of the time?)

I'm white, but I know who I'd prefer to be when considering the situation of cosplaying someone other than my race. STILL WHITE.

Boohoo, someone might criticise me for it. Probably for valid reasons. Woe is me.

Yeah this. White cosplayers definitely have it way easier in both the amount of white characters there are to cosplay and the way fans treat them. >.

The only way in which I might disagree with this is that if someone is criticizing a non-white person for cosplaying a white character, you can be 100% sure that the critic is being an ass and you can ignore them with a clear conscience. Whether white people should cosplay non-white characters is actually something debated by rational people. There are several different positions on it represented in this thread.

Is it wrong for a white cosplayer to appropriate a non-white character? Is it wrong for a white cosplayer to not cosplay non-white characters, because it's othering? I don't know. I have no moral standing to make a judgment call here, and the people who do have a moral standing can't seem to agree on anything.
