But I also think that fandom-as-a-whole's fondness for antagonistic pairings is inconsistent and highly conditional, while its dislike of characters of color (with the obvious exception of Asian characters in animanga and Asian drama fandoms) is much closer to universal.

I don't know that I would say that about fandom-as-a-whole. Slash fandom - I definitely see your point. But I haven't seen any examples in het of fandom skipping over the obvious het ship with a POC to ship a less obvious het pairing with white characters. The opposite in fact. I've always kind of attributed that to het fandom usually having closer ties to canon. Do you have any examples you're thinking of?

*I should note that I'm not saying het shippers are saints - far from it. It's just that this particular trend is not one I've noticed in het.

Actually...looking at my post, saying "the opposite in fact" was a poor choice of words. I haven't actually seen the opposite. I was just trying to say that, in my experience, when the obvious main het ship includes a POC, het fandom seems more than willing to embrace them. Mileage may vary of course.
