Ahem. So yeah, we're absolutely thrilled about the Doctor Who news but also want to talk just a bit about the limits of victories like this.

It needs to be said that DW is still an OVERWHELMINGLY white show & that issues of representation do not exist in isolation from each other.
-
It’s not as if you fix the “woman” problem, THEN the “race” problem, THEN the “queer/trans” problem, etc. It all has to happen in tandem.
-
Treating these as separate issues works to create a vision of progress that perpetuates the very imbalances we're struggling against.
-
We need to acknowledge the ways these issues are inextricably linked if we're going to move toward a more equitable world for everyone.
-
But we can and should celebrate the hell out of this news because it's truly wonderful while also acknowledging where we still need to go.
-
All the evil in the world is a result of ramming ideologies down somebodies throat. Something you are guilty of.

First of all, you're not a fan if you're gonna judge this show based on race, gender etc
-
Secondly, "overwhelmingly white show" proves you haven't watched any episode
-
It doesn't matter about it's diversity. what matters is who can play the role, if they can do it and the writing as well
-
And you're not gonna read a damn thing of what i just said cause it will be counted as "harassment"
-
You can have diversity and good acting, man. Go tell all the guys complaining that THEY aren't fans since it's ALL about gender for them.
