Yeah, remember when I said whitewashing sucks? I’m well aware that it sucks for all these reasons. But claiming “I’m less racist because all of my stories include at least one minority character who ‘exists’, even if their roles in the story are ‘snuck in’ and marginal” is *also* a terrible argument to try and make.
I’m bad at it. I get that. I’m working on it, and generally failing.
