Tracy's Little Corner

I can’t deal with the Benedict Cumberbatch fans tone-policing those who are calling out whitewashing.

You care more that people are making fun of his name (which everyone including you has done) than you care that he has done something racist.

You care more that people are pointing out his whiteness (which is an important factor in this discussion) than you care that he has done something racist.

You’ve basically proven that you care more about protecting your precious favourite actor from the consequences of his actions than you’ll ever care about oppression.

“

Let me reduce your culture to a party theme, a costume that I wear on Halloween, a hipster fad or a tattoo. Let me take your culture and sell it at Claires in the mall. Let me take your culture and whitewash it into nothing. Oh you don’t have to let me, because I’m going to anyways. Because being racist doesn’t negatively affect me at all. I live in a society, a white supremacy that encourages me to appropriate your culture and make it white culture. And I will do exactly that.

Feminism has NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT ABOUT RACE

white feminists: HOW IS FEMINISM A RACE THING
Indigenous Women: Because what you call feminism you stole from us, like everything else we owned. We'd like that back by the way.
Black Women: We were doing it and doing it better before you white girls too.
“Third-World” Women of Color: Because you justify bombing us in the name of Women’s liberation.
Men of Color: Because you depict us as being inherently sexual predators and criticize us more and more intensely than white men for the same shit.
Trans* Women of Color: Because you depict us as rapist men out to steal the female form and exclude us from spaces we desperately need to feel safe because people kill us and no one cares.
Women of Color in general: Because you refuse to acknowledge how your white privilege has been used to oppress people of color for centuries and the intersectional experiences that women of color face. How white supremacy, colonialism and imperialism imposed your shitty Western gender binary upon us with your shitty gender roles and your shitty patriarchy on top of the racism we face, makes us and our bodies seen as inherently rapeable, killable and less than subhuman. Acknowledge race you white fuckers.

that amazon ad that’s going around

infixirks:

It’s not as progressive as everyone says it is. It features two attractive white cis guys in comparison to an attractive white cis couple. The only privilege they seemed to be lacking was straight privilege. It was basically saying “gay people are okay because they can subscribe to the same norms as straight people”. As in, they’re not threatening because they won’t change our oh so perfect idea of what a family/couple/life should look like very much.

My issue is not that it exists, because there are definitely many worse ads out there, but that it’s being praised for being so progressive. Because it’s not. Representing the already represented isn’t that radical or progressive. And as we all know, representation does matter.

Fine, you can celebrate it because it adds to the support, but don’t you fucking dare pretend that it’s so cool and radical for them to do this. They might drive away the most bigoted of the bigots, but I’m pretty sure they realized the rush of support they would get would probably make up for it.
