>>50897401>>50897401>That's because Iris would have to be literal blackface for you to consider her blackNo, I don’t like Aunt Jemima stereotypes like Lenora, so Iris being black is very appealing to me. Same with Nessa. Their subdued skin tones, smooth complexions, and the shapes of their face, the absence of gaudy red lipstick, or any kind of garish accessory, would make them amazing black designs and I’m all for it. I would hate it if Lenora or that Rock-type user from Alola were indicative of black females. With that being said, you would have to be mentally impaired to think that the only reason people think Iris is Native American is because they don’t want her to be black. As people have pointed out, there’s a lot to suggest she is Native American, and that evidence is only rendered invalid by a single line. She comes from a “far away” region that is not Unova.
But anyway, this whole post is probably moot. You’re not really upset about racists desperately trying to deny Nessa/Iris their identity. What really happened is that you figured out the anon that called Alder a culture vulture is probably a POC themselves, probably black, because no white dude would ever call out whites like that, and you decided to fuck with him. This whole reply chain is cringe. IDK whose who, but to the retard that posted about not having any qualms calling Marina black – Marina is the most stereotypical black girl to hit pop culture since Numbuh 5. You’d have to be mentally impaired to think she was anything but black. It's not the same as Iris and Nessa at all.
