OMFG I love this post. It always makes me confused and uncomfortable when I enjoy something and then a white person lambasts it for being racist and I'm like "ok, I'm fairly well-versed in issues of racism...but are they right? am I wrong? am I just giving into self-loathing model minority syndrome because I enjoyed this?" when in reality I should just ask "just how much 'white man's burden' is this person feeling? did they talk to any person of colour about this? do they even care or are they too caught up in passing down judgements from their place of privilege to do so in the first place?"

So. <3
