I get that and I'm quite sympathetic, but my concern is with the implication that pleasure in one set of characters necessarily entails rejection of other characters. I completely agree that more interest and appreciation should be devoted to characters of color in fic, which is why I was concerned that this post seemed overly alienating.
In part, I have a problem with the use of hyperbole in many types of political writing. In "Cradle Will Rock" I had similar concerns, for example. As in-group expression I have no problem with it, which is why I didn't comment there. But in terms of contributing to a larger discussion, I don't find it entirely useful.
