This whole thread by Dr. Pande ("Squee from the Margins") is on point, and it doesn't let anyone off. It's not just other corners of the fandom, as much as people love to say that they never see racism so they must be doing something right. If you never see it, you probably don't see it when it happens.
anyone have a link to the thread?

Yeah clicking they just tells me they have limited who can see their posts. And I, despite being logged in, cannot.
Oh sorry, I didn't notice the lock icon. To paraphrase the rest, she pointed out that fandoms will sometimes push back against overt racism against characters of color, but as soon as someone points out shipping patterns that erase or undervalue characters of color, they're labeled an "anti," an enemy of fandom itself (something I've experienced first hand). And basically that until that stops, saying that fandoms broadly work against white supremacy is not true or productive.
