"You came out whiter!"; Racism and the Walkerton twins

As the only girl who was of mixed ethnicities on her white mother’s side of the family, and who had up until now been forced to largely ignore any other side of her, the story of Sal Walkerton (and the drama from the internet) strikes home. So many people are saying “How can Walky be ‘whiter, they’re twins!” and it’s just… a little offensive to be honest, because it’s suggesting that racial traits have no bearing on racism, just skin color. That two people who look alike wouldn’t be treated differently if one acted differently than the other. Even worse, people are using their last line of defense and saying, “Well how can they be racist to their own children, they’re their parents”, which just erases the concept of parental-child abuse.

Because people are being… either ignorant, or oblivious when it comes to subtle plot hinting, here some of the moments where it’s been made pretty clear that Walky has at least considered himself different than Sal in terms of the whole race issue. I actually dug into the archives SPECIFICALLY because people keep saying “it was never made apparent,” or that Sal was just making a low jab to get at Walky. And, well… I found even more evidence than what I originally remembered going into it.

It starts to become noticeable around a year ago:

I have never heard of a ptarmigon before, and if someone had described what it looked and sounded like I would have thought they were pulling my leg or describing a funny local cryptid. Knowing that this funny little bird with the angry red eyebrows that makes croaky "oh wow" sounds exists adds that much more brightness to my life

Food for thought:

The Furies of Greek myth, in order to not be directly named to draw their unwanted attention, were referred to as *The Kindly Ones*

We've been without the next book too long if this is what we've been reduced to when it comes to theories and plot twists... 😅

Apparently the favourite Rhaegar x Lyanna explanation is now that the whole war is actually Brandon Stark's fault (Rhaegar only kidnapped Lyanna to save her from Aerys' wrath, realised how perfect this arrangement was for the prophecy, he told Rickard about it but didn't have time to tell Brandon and Brandon then ruined everything when he went to King's Landing). Like. Sure, time to blame the guy who lost his sister and was then brutally murdered alongside his father. Also, Rickard definitely would have been fine with his only daughter, whose betrothal was decided by him, becoming the crown prince's second wife (at beast). Anything to absolve Rhaegar of blame

Wow.

Also, can we remember that what started the war was not Brandon riding in to the Red Keep and being a little too confrontational about the fact that his sister was abducted by the crown prince, but the fact that Aerys chose to murder eight people about it? Lords and their sons? Without trial? Lords of the Riverlands, Vale and North? And then went on to demand the murder of two more, Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, the new Lord Stark and the Lord of Storm's End? Two of the highest Lords in his Realm? On the basis of absolutely nothing?

Even if the hare-brained theory had any merit - that Rickard Stark would have been fine with making a concubine of his only daughter and destroying a betrothal that would have made her the Lady of Storm's End - that still has no bearing on the fact that Aerys decided to be a tyrannical, sadistic murderer instead of following the rule of law and upholding his end of the feudal contract and granting a fair trial.

And given the volatile political position of House Targaryen at the time, given that a block of informal alliances had formed between North, Vale, Stormlands and Riverlands, Rhaegar is STILL INSANELY CULPABLE if he did not realize that kidnapping half of a future marriage within that alliance block would be the domino that would send political stability in the Realm crashing and burning. Even if Aerys had not been a sadistic tyrant. Which, however, he was!

The conduct of House Targaryen is from every angle indefensible and no amount of contrived excuses will change that.
