I'm actually not terribly interested in either tearing down or building up Bowie. The conversation that I want to have, however, is why white celebrities get to be "problematic faves" while POC social justice warriors are either shrill, hypocritical, or both. That's why I'm still angry about Racefail, even though I'm a strong critic of anti-appropriation rhetoric.
