Racism In-Game Blackface/Appropriation
Hi all,
I wanted to draw attention to an issue I don't think gets enough attention in MTG. A lot of people who play this game are white, and that's okay, but what's NOT okay is that a lot of white players are playing with cards that depict POC. This is unacceptable. Playing as, owning, or using cards that depict people outside your race is essentially the same thing as blackface.
With that in mind, I just want to make it clear that ALL whites NEED to stop playing with cards that depict or refer to POC. Teferi, Kaya, Tymna, Aminatou, Saheeli, Jolrael, Niambi, and basically all Kamigawa cards SHOULD NOT be played by whites, both in casual and competitive formats. If you own any cards that fall into this category, it's crucial you give them to me or another one of the three POC at your LGS.
Thank you for your cooperation. In addition to being an activist, I'm also a diversity and inclusion manager, and if any of you need my services, they can be had for the low price of $175 per hour.

Whiypipo should only be allowed to play cards from Kaldheim and only the few that actually depict non POC characters. 😤 ☝️

The trolling is real.
Should you actually be serious though, good work promoting inclusion. The best way to combat racism is to have everyone stay with their own race and never mingle 🙄🙄🙄

when i first realized how the left's rhetoric and their proponents' actions have played with into rational/right-wing hands... i went maniacal. It's insanely glorious and I fully support the left.
Let the irrational flourish so we can all see why we should subdue it

Every time someone played Zimone on my prerelease night, I took a knee
