evilios posted about how apollo should have white skin.
hiding behind an anon in order to accuse another user of racism behind their back is scummy behavior, ESPECIALLY when you don't provide any evidence for your claims. if you're also a Hellenic Polytheist, spreading claims with no evidence certainly violates Xenia. however, this is a VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE to pay attention to in Polytheistic spaces, so I indulged your idea and searched for proof you so unhelpfully didn't provide.
i went to @evilios 's page and went through every single post they had that was related to Apollon. these are the ONLY posts I found that were in any way related to your claims:
below is taken from this post asking about Apollon and Yarlio. here, he describes some physical attributes of Apollon that are attested. note he says nothing about skin color.
below is from this post where they describe an ancient statue of Apollon. it's possible to have misread this part, if this is what prompted the ask.
and finally, this is from the tags of this reblogged post. this definitely requires some context. in antiquity, pale skin and light hair was commonly considered the height of beauty. since Apollon was commonly an effeminate Deity, these features would convey to ancient people that this statue honored those aspects.
so, to conclude, I found no evidence for your claims on their current profile. honestly, I found more evidence of the opposite. accusing people of racism without looking into context for yourself can take attention away from people who actually need to be ostracized. take this as a learning experience.
of course, if you actually do have evidence, feel free to share. next time, present it with your claims.
