I know like everyone is taking about the casting of Annabeth as black, which I'm more than ok with. but ever since she was cast, I know we've all seen the blatant racism, but I've also noticed art of white Annabeth (still a valid interpretation) or white cosplayers are getting flooded with comments along the lines of
"this is EXACTLY how I pictured Annabeth"
"this is MY Annabeth"
"the true Annabeth"
we all know what you are trying to communicate even if you aren't saying it directly. stop it.
and for everyone who is saying "I'd be just as upset is they casted a POC character as white!" I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you would.
but those characters race is important.
for representation.
for their background
it's important that Leo is Mexican because his grandfather went to a school for colored children, where he met Hazel.
it's important that Hazel is black because of the culture shock she gets when she comes to the 2000s in terms of racism.
it's important that Frank is Chinese because it is how he is decended from Neptune.
it's important that Piper is Cherokee because she carries all the lessons and parables she got from her uncle with her throughout her story.
it's not important that Annabeth is white because the only thing important about her appearance is that people underestimate her because of it. you know a demographic that is often disrespected and underestimated for their appearance? black people, especially black women.
Leah Jeffries is not a "diversity hire" and it absolutely disgusting behavior to say she is. she is a twelve year old girl who already has an acting career and worked hard to get where she is.
Leah, i can not wait to see what you'll do with Annabeth.
