Re: Fic Discussion - Deja vu

For real we are all here following the sport of hockey to some degree, when people talk about this its often from a spot of self-criticism/awareness.

Yeah, I was trying to stave off defensiveness myself, because it's my own history I'm tracking, too. I finally got into a sport and it's baseball, I got interested in an athlete without knowing he was multiracial because he passes, I ended up over in hockey fandom shipping the whitest white boys I have ever shipped, and I'm trying to examine that with regards to myself as much as anyone else. And do better in the future, obviously, especially wrt to being more preemptively thoughtful about what I ship and what people/characters I get interested in.

Yeah, I think with Lincecum (who I think you're referring to), it's also that his dad is white and his mom split early, most people don't know he's Filipino and I'm not sure how much he IDs as Filipino. Which is different from being, say, Carey Price and 'white passing.' (Or even Oshie and white passing, but being close with his grandfather.)

He's not very comfortable with being IDed as Filipino, no, and it isn't in the media much. I still felt kind of dumb for not knowing even though I'd vaguely been paying attention to him for years.

I assume that's because he's really close to his dad and his relationship with his mom isn't great, AFAIK, so no need to worry about it. It's different than say, not knowing that Price is First Nations.

Yeah, I now know a LOT about him, and the whole background is kind of sad (ntm his current situation).
