Hey! Pjo fans! Did you know you’re still being racist when you say shit like “the annabeth we’ll never get :(” under white Annabeth posts? Especially when nobody brought it up? That you are quite literally telling on yourselves when you post shit like that, even if you’re not actively spewing hate toward Leah? That you are showing a bias for whiteness which is quite literally the definition of colorism when you say stuff like that? Rick said himself that you all need to check yourselves and that includes the people who somehow feel like Annabeth died when a black girl showed up, and act accordingly while clutching your pearls, in fear of a twelve year old black girl. Do you not see how fucked that is? If you don’t, let me spell it out for you= the annabeth you know is still here. There is still a smart, athletic, nerdy architectural girl inside that black girl. None of these traits are preserved in whiteness, and saying that it is or implying such matters tells us all what you prioritize. And it’s quite sad that the rest of the world can move on when you’re still getting over the fact that a character that was described as white in the books suddenly has her intelligence, power, and personality taken away. It’s literally so ridiculous that I’m still seeing people like this even days after Rick, again, said himself, to back off and check your biases. Even more sad that a black character intimidates you, and you don’t think any of the aformentioned traits can belong to her.
