since i’m on a roll with desi character posts :  amazons can be desi just as much as they can be black, latinx, and even ( gasp ) white. outside of the fact that these are women created by the gods  ( why people think the gods would be racist and keep all of them white, as if only white folks can save the world from war… another problematic issue in and of itself wrt ‘the white hero’ trope )… if ppl think that’s a problem bc ‘desis have their own mythologies’ or something, cool of people to look out for us and mean well! however – our entire history is intertwined with ancient greeks due to centuries of trade and exploration. here are some neato sources on that  –  and i did my best to make sure these are legit sources:

cultural ties between greco-roman cultures and ancient india

alexander the great and the invasion of india

the indo-greek kingdom: an overview

early indian and greek relations  ( from the auckland school of philosophy )

i’d link more sources,  but you get the idea.  india also features prominently in greek mythology and is named often in the original works,  fun fact !  in fact,  many desis now claim partial greek heritage due to mixing that came out of some of these periods.  we are as much a part of this culture.

but that isn’t the point.  people don’t have to be greek to be fancast as amazons.  they’re a fictional group of women.  the point is,  if people fancast desis as amazons,  or as diana prince in particular,  that’s awesome !  i encourage the use of desis for a lot of common fancasts,  because usually,  racebending seems to ignore south asians and middle easterners,  and that’s really unfortunate,  given there’s a whole lot of influence from our people on these canons.  this includes zatanna zatara,  whose magic is largly influenced by the south,  as an example.  so go forth !  use some desi fcs !  use middle eastern fcs !  use malaysian fcs !  in representing different beautiful cultures and people in your writing,  you’re making these characters not only more relatable,  but even richer.

dick grayson is romani

zatanna zatara is jewish and romani and once killed a guy with a shark for hurling slurs at her

wanda and pietro maximoff are jewish and romani, and were raised by a romani couple

doctor doom is also romani

kurt wagner was adopted and raised by a romani woman, so while he may not be romani by blood, that is his culture

stop fucking acting like you can just ignore these characters romani backgrounds for the sake of slapping on another ethnicity you feel is right

stop fucking whitewashing these characters when you know that wanda, pietro, dick, and zatanna have all been drawn with darker skintones in the past

stop pretending you actually give a shit about romani characters when you ignore the ones we have and and tell us “it not canon anymore” just to excuse your antiromani racism

we can see right through it

good day
