I think there have been some misconceptions from non-kin about people who are fictionkin with a character who is another race.

People who are kin with someone of a different race:

  • do not invade or seek to participate in spaces or dialogues meant for people of the race of their character/kintype
  • do not seek to be acknowledged or treated as the race of their character/kintype
  • do not identify as the race of their character/kintype outside of kin spaces
  • do not claim to know or understand the race of their character/kintype as well as persons who are currently living lives as that race
  • do not want in any way to infringe on the rights of, or disrespect people of the race of their character/kintype
  • do not claim to be oppressed for being the race of their character/kintype

By all means, call individuals racist

for specific behavior if they exhibit it. 

However, someone is not racist simply because they are fictionkin of someone of another race. 

We are all aware that we are not currently living the life of someone who is another race, even if we believe we were that race in another life. 

Thank you
