“Hi there! I’m Roxanne Weasley!”
“Woah dere, girl. Hold up. You’re not Roxanne Weasley…”
“I’m not? Well, why?”
“Because Roxanne’s mother is black and her dad is white. You’re white and Filipino. So you can’t be Roxanne. That would be really inappropriate! It’d be completely erasing Roxanne’s black heritage. That’s really racist, homie…”
“Wow. You’re right. That is racist. But people use me as Roxanne all the time…”
“Well, yeah. I don’t get it. They easily accept Roxanne’s white heritage. Why not her black heritage? And people continuously tell them how racist it is. It’s so easy to use a more appropriate face for the job…”
“They must be racist idiots or something.”
“Wow. That’s terrible…”
“You’re damn right it is! Now that you understand, go help spread the word! Spread it like butter!”
“I will! I will! Who are you guys again?”
”Oh, us? We’re just various actresses who look more like Roxanne, but are rarely used for her face claim.”
CC: CAN I JUST EXPRESS MY SINCERE IRREDEEMABLE ANNOYANCE WITH EVERYONE WHO USES SHAY MITCHELL AS A FACECLAIM FOR POC CHARACTERS
SERIOUSLY
I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF SEEING HER EVERYWHERE
SHE’S THE TOKEN POC FACECLAIM FOR EVERY BULLSHIT RP BLOG
THEY USE HER BECAUSE SHE’S RACIALLY/ETHNICALLY AMBIGUOUS BUT JUST THE KIND OF POC THAT FITS INTO THE WHITE STANDARDS OF BEAUTY
IT IS DISRESPECTFUL TO CONTINUOUSLY USE THIS GIRL FOR FACECLAIMS SHE IS NOT CLEARLY SUITED FOR

WRONG BITCHES, FUCKING WRONG.
