Yeah so basically throw in 2 more characteristics and it's OK to use skin colour when judging someone. I think that's ridiculous. I don't care if a black or white character has been used a billion times I don't think we as people should be judging them like that. What they do and how they act is what matters. 

Got it.  You can't recognize the separation between racism or sexism and a trope/cliche/stereotype.

So that we have this clear....nobody should ever be bothered by the overuse of the angry, black women trope.  The techy, Asian man trope.  The black, street slang male trope.  The buxom female with attitude trope.  The evil, British male antagonist trope.  The Arabian oil Sheikh.  The Persian, male taxi driver.  The Indian, customer service technician.  The popular, blonde female cheerleader.  The psycho, white male survivalist. The evil, white matriarch (also known as the wicked stepmother). The Jewish, male accountant. The mad, white male scientist. The boisterous, gay man. 

And on and on and on.  These character trait combinations are never supposed to bother anyone no matter how much they are overused and stereotyped onto countless characters.  Good to know.

It's quite simple my thoughtprocess. i treat races as equals and dont judge characters based on their ethnic origin. it literally doesn't enter my brain when i make my judgment.
