I had a customer flat out ask me to change the colors of some icons I was making for his site because he didn’t specify race and one of the characters was black.
He claimed he wanted to “avoid the race issue”.
There’s also people who’ve implied to me over the years even drawing people who aren’t white while you are a white person is somehow racist. These were white people discouraging me from drawing non-white folks because “that’s racist”. Which is pretty ridiculous.

Fuck that noise.
This is a lovely address to that concept.
