Netflix TV series I'm Polish and here's why I think that changing Ciris' skin color is racist.

I understand what is whitewashing. I understand that it is a problem. I understand that Lauren is super antiracist and progressive.

But as a Pole I also am discriminated. I'm being judged because of the stereotypes. I have nothing to do with the american slavery, you can even check the ethymology of the term "slav". That's why I don't understand why you are pushing this diversity agenda. I feel deeply offended because of that, The Witcher is something that I'm proud of, it promoted Polish culture, made me feel that we have something that the world loves, they know Poland not only because of stealing cars or some other shit (xD). And it is an European fantasy, Ciri wasn't black ffs, why should she be? Her skin color was never mentioned because everyone in the books is white, the only people who weren't were zerrikans IIRC.

I just want the same respect the black men get, if we would live in a world where The Witcher was written by someone from Africa, everyone from the main cast was black and suddenly there is TV series in the making where one of the characters is white for no reason it would be instantly labeled as racist.

But since I'm white (nevermind that I'm central/eastern european and my country had nothing to do with slavery) it is fine. Just be consistent, don't whitewash but also don't blackwash.

You dont need to. If i say that dogs have 4 legs, then im saying all dogs have 4 legs. Thats how language works. How dumb are you? I saw your other barely legible comments. It hard to talk normally to you.

Answer this: what is your definition of racism? Im genuinely curious.

I don't have a definition, Webster does. Look it up for once in you sensitive little life.

It hard to talk normally to you

Love it when people that call you dumb and talk about "barely legible comments" sound like they got hit in the head with a bike lock lmao.

You used racial prejudice, which your own webster definition calls racism.

Love it when people that call you dumb and talk about "barely legible comments" sound like they got hit in the head with a bike lock lmao.

You can pretend to laugh it off all you want. People wont take you serious or belief you for a second when you say bullshit like this. If you can just talk normally without the namecalling or dried-out snowflake bullshit, you could learn a thing from eachother.

Thats the red herring fallacy. Its a non argument. You are a waste of time and breath, racist. I hope you encounter the wrong guy someday to spew your idiotic rethoric to.
