if youre white you need to keep your eyes peeled for whitewashing at all hours. if the thought of reblogging something even crosses your mind and theres a character in it who canonically has bronze or dark skin or just. not fucken. pale skin, just take a damn second and review it. ‘does the character in question/every character here actually look like the people in canon, especially with regards to skin tone or nonwhite features’ just take a damn second ok
& white people watch your friends too for gods sakes and tell them when they fuck up. it shouldn’t be 100% brown + black emotional labor goin into destroying whitewashing otherwise youre complicit in it
white ppl please reblog this + hold ur white friends to these standards.
Why can’t it just be the LGBTQ community why do we need to separate it by race. Isn’t the point of our fight to come together as a community now within our own fight we are separating from each other. If this is the case we won’t win.
ok correct me if I’m wrong here but black members of the queer community are constantly erased and looked over. It’s so incredibly rare to see any kind of representation of queer POC in the media or just in the community itself. That plus the amount of racism within the queer community is why a flag like this has to exist in the first place. Creating another flag for a specific group within the community isn’t separating from each other, it’s acknowledging that there’s more than just one kind of person we need to be fighting for.
