I think the retconning of Dick to white truly causes some of y’all’s brains to rot. Like yes that is racism but also part of that racism is that fanon treats and sees him as white; which is the ERASURE part of the convo. I get so sick of white people who couldn’t care less going ‘actually Dick is Romani 🙄🙄🙄’ when they still operate and treat him as if he’s white except for the occasional fanart. I’d love if more ppl and dc canon actually talked about him not being white but as of now until that happens when discussing fandom racism and the way y’all prop up white characters before everyone else; Dick is included in the convo precisely because of the erasure.

#and this is about Dick but also about how I feel about Jewish tim Drake #like he was written that way once and then immediately retconned to be an atheist #in my mind tim Drake is absolutely still Jewish #however when I talk about white characters being propped up by white ppl he’s number one on the list #bc even some of y’all who go ‘tim Drake is Jewish!!!’ only post about it or reblog art involving that in December #to a lesser extent with Bruce bc he’s been Jewish for a long ass time since a while ago #but still like ppl going ‘actually they’re Jewish!’ when we speak on the racism in the fandom…#how come the only time u say that is when it’s time to prove racism doesn’t exist #there’s never any genuine interest at any other time #obligatory if it don’t apply let it fly #I’m not talking to or about ppl who see these characters as Jewish and genuinely incorporate it into their mind spaces all the time #duh #same with dick #if u see him as Romani all the time and explore that and the culture through him genuinely I’m talking about u stop typing
