> Plus, homeless people aren’t all older white guys.... > when heroes focus on petty criminals because it encourages the over-policing of impoverished neighborhoods, particularly Black ones.... > United States has “hick” or “white trash” stereotypes ... however, any negative class-based stereotypes also impact them [people of color] a great deal As a person of colour, I am not a fan of this trope where white writers[1] will make everything even vaguely demeaning about the downtrodden, somehow related to minorities. All of the examples, given were of white people. Can bad representations of white people not simply remain encapsulated to them? Saying that everything related to the impoverished must by some means also relate to people of colour is not only clearly wrong, but the classism that the author is ranting against. Lastly, the author is wrong where she writes > White supremacists are natural villains but shouldn’t be glorified even a little, which limits their effectiveness as a fictional threat... The critical success of Lovecraft Country which features villainous racist wizards, puts this to shame, as does the success of Watchmen before it which shed light on the Bombing of Tusla (aka Black Wall Street Massacre) that a whole generation of children likely did not learn about before. In other examples, comic book villains have historically been associated with America's enemy du'jour. Hydra is no less dramatic or effective in fiction, simply because they are Nazis.
