She blinded me with magic

If someone is mixed, please acknowledge all parts of their identity when you use them as a face claim!

What does this mean, you might ask? I mean that if you use Troian Bellesario as a faceclaim for your character, you acknowledge that she is part black/creole! She’s not just white! This means including it in your character- if your character is supposed to be full white, sorry bud. Go use someone else as your face claim. 

Recognizing someone’s race to their entirety is extremely important, and not doing so can be really hurtful and harmful. Personally, I am mixed white and Mexican, but often times those aspects of my race are overlooked because of how I look. I am lighter than my mom, and because of this I have been told to my face that she isn’t my mother. I’ve been asked if she was my babysitter. I have been told that I need to prove that I am Mexican because I don’t fit someone’s stereotype of what a Mexican person looks like. Don’t be mistaken- things like this happen to people who aren’t white-passing as well! I have friends that are not white-passing who have had the same experiences when they are out with their parents who don’t look exactly like them, and it’s just as uncomfortable of an experience. 

WAIT VAMPIRES FUCKING COUNT?
