I've never read the fic in question, nor am I in SPN J2. I trawled FandomLore and randomly found this issue. And here I am.
I'm so grateful that you (and other commentators) have left these posts up, because they've really drawn my attention to potentially problematic things that *I'm* writing or have written.
It makes me so sad and angry at myself to realize that I am a racist, too. That at the end of the day I'm indelibly a product of my middle-class, white-passing American upbringing, much as this author is a product of her (presumably similar) upbringing.
However, I hope I can be better, in both my writing, my fandom interactions, and my life choices. So thanks, again, for leaving this up for me to learn from. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
