Go Do Whatever The Hell You Want and for god's sake don't frame a request for permission to do something around race.

Yeah, it's okay. If someone has an issue with you dressing as a 'white' or 'Asian' character, they're a racist P.O.S. whose opinion doesn't matter. People throw a fit when people 'blackface' to fit a darker character largely because it's stupid as fuck. It's like changing your eye shape to 'look more Asian'. If you're pale, and want to cosplay as Viera, just focus on the costume, makeup, and wig. No one is going to be like, "Gosh, I just don't know who that character could be because your skin is pale as fuck." Equally so, if you're black, and want to cosplay Mina Tepes, focus on the costume, makeup, and wig. No one is going to be all, "Fuck. I can't figure out who you are because your dark skin is just completely confounding my ability to identify this character."

As a white person, I have no desire to cosplay any character without light skin. I don't think I would look right and I'd be embarrassed to do it. I also don't go around telling people what to do, but I will tell you that I'm not the only person who thinks the way I do. And there's nothing wrong with that so long as they're not trying to control your life. However, if you're doing cosplay for attention, or money, you'll get less of it if you cosplay light skinned characters as opposed to a light skinned person in the same cosplay. That's just reality. It's harsh, and I'd never say this in person, but I think light skinned people look better cosplaying light skinned characters. I also think dark skinned people look better cosplaying dark skinned characters. Doesn't mean anyone should be barred from cosplaying any character. It's fun, after all. And it doesn't mean dark skinned people can't look good, or even great cosplaying light skinned characters. But the thing that is so wonderful about cosplay, but at the same time so restrictive, is cosplay isn't just a garment hanging lifeless on a manikin. A person's body is as much a part of the cosplay as the care that went into making it. A living breathing human being is responsible for bringing a costume to life, and in many cases, attributes you have no control over affect how you will be perceived. So just do your best and have fun. Cosplay for yourself, and if others like it, let that be a bonus.

That is objectively a lie I constantly see people and pages on my Facebook feed specifically sharing POC cosplayers that are cosplaying a traditionally light-skinned character specifically because they are a POC even if the cosplay itself is a cheap store-bought outfit they didn't touch or modify.

However when it comes to my FB feed it's filled with self-hating white girls that have so much white-guilt that they feel obligated to be super-woke so perhaps in a more mainstream sense you are right.

I’ve never heard of that but wouldn’t be surprised. There’s a really toxic (eh) attitude in the black dating community for both men and women. Both consider dating within their race “settling”.
Obviously not all do, but it’s shockingly common as a mindset. It doesn’t help that just statistically a larger amount of black individuals are less desirable (in terms of criminal record, obesity, std’s etc) which artificially reduces the dating pool even further.

And that’s not even getting into the cultural associations. It’s not all doom and gloom but nobody hates black people like (some)other black people and it makes dating a sad state of affairs for them.

Men aren't affected at all desu. Not much black women date outside their race compared to black men despite what the other anon implied.

I think black men are affected differently, but still influenced nonetheless.
I know this isn’t really the place to talk race dynamics (then again neither is /pol/, the conversation has virtually no place on the surface web unfortunately) but I’d say it’s self-evident there are serious, critical flaws in the courtship culture of African Americans that are too minority-specific to tackle in a mainstream view and too unpleasant to address as a niche view.
