I actually work with one...shyt was hella weird. But she literally said that was a big issue in the cosplay community. Even though these white boys don't look shyt like Ciel or Cloud or Levi Ackerman. Or none of that.
Yup, I completely believe it. Most nerdy/geeky communities are and a lot of the time, it's blatant and out in the open. That's why they go wild over a Jessica Nigri. She's white, young, blonde with a huge rack. To them, it's a dream come true.
It also might have something to do with us just being straight up underrepresented. We don't have too many black leads in comics, games and movies, so naturally, we don't see too many black cosplayers. That community has some weird sense of elitism though, so anybody can catch a stray. It's not the most accepting either.
