bored Notes to self : -
I am here to be part of the fendom I like as much as I can.
'm not here to get distracted by irrelevant matters.
'm not here to get distracted by ‘sudden-crazes’ (closest I could come to the translation of what my basic linguistic group calls ‘hujug’).
I Do Not Hold with excluding any part of fandom.
And so, I am Not interested in exclusion of fen that’re albino-shading-to-pale-shading-to-palish – even if that's only the name of a community.
Except for the LULZworthiness of names of some comms – such as

foc_u XD XD --- I mean, for God’s sake, if that one was named unintentionally, it’s a scream. And even if it was named intentionally, it’s quite funny XDRelevant links : -
Pathway of melanin-production
Genes controlling production of melanin
Melanin is produced as protection against sunlight
Relevant point : There’re nasty people of every possible colour (within melanic limits, of course) all over the world !
Personal decision : I would prefer to remain ungrouped according to colour on the ‘net just as I would prefer not to bother with anyone else’s skin-colouration/s. Especially as OMG My First Fandom Star Trek Is Back OMG OMG !!! :) :) :)
So, racefail, mammothfail, whatever, GOODBYE ! And stay away from me so long as there’s any sort of differentiation according to skin-colouration/s.

LOL, yes. And they're all online!
And for the record, I don't know and don't care what color your skin happens to be. :)

And they leave their manners, tact and diplomacy outside the phonelines *Headkeyboard*
Actually, I think the colour classifications shd be acc to what colour one thinks oneself to be. I think I'm chlorophyllous green (with all other necessary sunlight harvesting pigments), but I'm not really, because that'd have cut down on the time I spend cooking food *Pout POUT*

Or do you think it should also welcome white racists?

To me, that sounds like saying "no groups should ever be gender-segregated, or value the opinions of one gender over another." Which sounds nice until you hit reality... I don't really care how men think giving birth or breastfeeding "should" be done; they don't have the equipment to fully understand the situation.
Telling an oppressed group of people--in this case, people of color--that they shouldn't notice race, is blaming the victim. It assumes that if enough of the oppressed people stop noticing the categories, so will the oppressors. And history says it doesn't work that way.
When white cops announce that they *want* black people to be afraid, it's too early to tell people of color that they shouldn't be paying attention to race.

My acquaintance with reality, unfortunately, is quite broad ranging. And a great part of reality saddens me deeply.
I refuse to tell anyone what to think and how to behave. That is neither my duty, nor my right. I have, however, put up links to the natural facts, and should anyone look in and read through, she/he must decide on her/his/its own what to conclude.
Even if someone asked me to help to make up her/his mind, I would put up as many facts as I could, and ask the person to search for more before deciding on her/his own.
Discrimination is not commendable. From any quarter. Of course, that’s my personal opinion.
