Fandoms hate People of Color @fandomshatepeopleofcolor - Tumblr Blog

Posts

My mother offered HP books when I was 14 years, i've been in this fandom for something for like one years and the sexisme/racism is so wild. I tried to talk with a HP blogger about racism, here the worst part of their post:

"Europe’s historical systems of hierarchy have primarily been class-based. And what we see represented in Harry Potter is much closer to a caste or class system among different kinds of wizards than to a racial one."

-----> I'm a black girl from an European country and this one was shocking because most European country are colonizers. Let's see other post:

"So yes, I’m white. But I’m also considerably more informed and educated than you are. "

----> More than me, who experienced racism

"I’m sorry, but you come across as a complete idiot; either you’re USAmerican, or you’ve completely swallowed USAmerican cultural discourse without questioning it for a second. I’m sorry that you’ve been so thoroughly indoctrinated, but it’s not my fault that your education system and your general level of historical and political literacy are so poor."

"You don’t get to assume that anyone who disagrees with you and isn’t POC doesn’t know a thing That’s especially ironic when you’re lecturing someone whose own family was persecuted by a fascist dictatorship across multiple generations. So maybe drop the condescending lectures about systemic persecution. You’re not talking to someone who’s unaware of how oppressive regimes work. You’re talking to someone whose family history has been shaped by one. And also I have a double degree in Law and Politics so educate yourself first and then start to talk."

As a Black girl, I see what happened to muggleborn as something racist in the context of HP world. This blogger, while being a Snape fan, will do everything to make him look like a victim of oppression while hating on Lily for cutting him. This blogger will complaining about classism in Snape's defense but would assume every US people (black?) are stupid and she knows better because she was victim of a fascist gouvernment. I have nothing against Snape,but in my opinion, on a social scale he held a lot of privileges.

I think, this is really above HP world and it's insane that no one call out this blogger out for the shit they write?!

ok so I'm sorry I haven't answered this yet... its a little hard to answer this honestly because I was in the hp fandom for a long time. I'm sorry you're dealing with this harrassment. I first started reading the books around your age about 14ish. But back then we didn't know everything about JKR's transphobia and I wasn't online where they were discussing her racism.

For your benefit since I know you've attempted to contact us twice... please for the love all marginalized communities that JKR has screwed over stop reading the harry potter books. I'm not going to assume that all JKR fans are racist but I spent YEARS talking about the racism in the movies and the rarity of people of color in speaking roles in the books/movies. At this point there's nothing new under the sun in that fandom. JKR culturally appropriated and was extremely racist in her hp universe. More than that she took credit for Black Hermione which was just an accident of her bad writing. (The curly hair the tan are canon its true but I don't think its worth it to be in that fandom just for Black Hermione).

I'd rather now point you to a better series of books Amari and the Night Brothers https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/amari-and-the-night-brothers_bb-alston/28575768/

Now I know you're gonna say that you love harry potter because you've already read them but please please listen there's nothing in HP that's worth your time. Really. But I've read Amari and the Night Brothers and I'm eager to finish the series. Even if the next books are half as good as the first I think you'll like them too.

The only thing I think that I wish I could convey to you is that I wish I could gift you these books but I'm broke myself. Harry Potter is just not worth the real world harm it causes trans people. And that includes trans people of color.

During the peak of racial justice protests in the summer of 2020, at least six Black and Brown individuals were found publicly hanged in trees across California, Texas, Georgia, New York, and Oregon within a single month. High-profile cases have become a tragic refrain. In 2024, Dennoriss Richardson was found in Alabama. In 2025, the country witnessed the deaths of Javion Magee in North Carolina and freshman Demartravion "Trey" Reed on the campus of Delta State University in Mississippi. By August 2026, the list had grown to include Kyle Bassinga in Georgia, 16-year-old Juliana Nzita in North Carolina, Tonea Nicole Miller in Florida, and Tasia Fortune in Mississippi.

and despite the continuous ongoing pattern, it's always ruled as a suicide during the 72-hour judgment window. because systems would rather protect their town's and state's public images rather than uphold the truth. this is blatant antiblackness as a whole, from the racial targeting and lynching to the neglect from officials.

So I saw on tiktok that Palestinian journalist, Bisan Owda, has called for a boycott of Spider-Man: Brand New Day because its producer, Avi Arad, has publicly supported the genocide of the Palestinian people and has defended Netanyahu

I’m also seeing that there are posts about it on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, but I’m not seeing any posts about it on Tumblr? Am I not looking up the right keywords in the search bar or are we all out of the loop?

(I can’t find the original post from Owda because I have the worst time navigating Instagram, but this link is from The Jamia Times on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DblMMDKTyub/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== )

[Image ID: Picture of a quote from Bisan Owda that reads: “Waiting for Zendaya and Tom Holland to say something about this maybe? We cannot separate art from accountability. Every ticket sold supports a production led by a producer who has publicly defended Israel’s war on Gaza. Boycott is one of the few peaceful tools we have to demand justice.” /End ID]

woc characters get put on a pedestal in their fandoms in a way that is so boring and itself kinda dehumanising. i dont just wanna hear about how they’re flawless queens, i want them to feel specific and real. and i understand why it happens, especially with younger fans, but fandom of these characters that’s oriented more around defending them from haters rather than engaging with them (beyond empty, repetitive adulation) is so… limiting and profoundly boring. you could explore these characters on their own merit instead you neglect any potential interiority, humanity, complexity in favour of letting rando haters be a hair trigger and building your faves up as impenetrable fortresses against them. and then its just girlboss with a coat of brown paint

Deadly egg recall

The FDA has upgraded an egg recall issued last month to “Class I,” its highest risk level, as it warns the public that consuming the products could cause “serious adverse health consequences or death.”

The recall of 1,589,577 dozen white-shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs was initially issued by Midwest Poultry Services in late July, which warned they might be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.

According to the company, the eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3 and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and August 17. The recalled egg cartons have either the code P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian Dates between 157-184.

Recalled eggs were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Recalled eggs were available to consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana; Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and other smaller retail and foodservice outlets in these states plus Mississippi and New Mexico.

Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico are the currently affected states.

“Kids shouldn’t have to know about that.”

Okay so actually letting a serious topic be vague and confusing is much more scary for a child than explaining it in calm language they can understand.

sandersstudies

When you are in a safe place, explain the serious topic in a way the child can understand.

The fire alarm went off at school today because of a mistake, but your teachers did the right thing to take you outside to be sure it was safe.

Some people use wheelchairs because their legs don’t walk very well. It can happen because they are old and tired, or because they got hurt, or because they were born that way.

Your Uncle Jerod talked to mom and dad, and wants you to call her Aunt Kari now. We will call her Kari too, and we can all practice together if it takes some getting used to.

Anticipate age-appropriate fears the child might have so you can assuage those that are not a threat.

Yes, Kitty died at the vet, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not safe for Puppy to go to the vet.

Yes, Peyton and Jo are getting a divorce, but they are both still part of our family and love you very much.

Yes, Grandma has cancer, but cancer is not contagious, so you are not going to get cancer by visiting her.

Anticipate fears that are realistic, and give the child clear direction about what to do, and what happens next.

If someone asks you to get in their car without permission, find Mom, Mama, or a teacher and tell them right away. We will make sure you are safe.

If Sparky’s sickness makes him hurt very badly, we are going to take him to the vet and she will give him some medicine, and he will die, but then he won’t hurt any more. Because Sparky is very sick, we are going to spend some special time with him over the next few days.

If the fire alarm goes off at school again, follow the teacher’s directions. If the fire alarm goes off and you are somewhere alone, go outside, and ask a grownup to call 911.

Reassure the child that they’re safe and loved, validate their feelings, and see if they have follow-up questions. Give them the option to take space to process, or to stay near you to feel safe.

I’m sad about Sparky too. Do you think we could make his favorite peanut-butter treats, while we are spending special time with him?

I understand why Grandma’s cancer makes you feel angry. It doesn’t seem fair that people we love get sick. Would you like a hug?

You were worried about calling 911 if there’s not a grownup around. I wrote down some important things, like our address, and we can go over these together so you are ready if anything like that ever happens.

sandersstudies

These things are principally the job of the child’s parent or guardian, but in some cases directing the child to that caregiver is difficult or impossible (parent refuses/confuses the child, parent is absent, child’s questions are specific and relevant to a situation their parent was not present for, etc.) so I think all adults should be prepared to have these conversations with kids.

thatsolarpunkteacher

In the school setting, this includes having an age appropriate conversation about the emergency procedures at school- including intruder drills. If you don't talk about it, and then have one, the kids are terrified. Its still scary when we have it, but telling the kids and doing a mini practice, helps them feel more secure and safe.
