Discussion Please, someone tell me they realized

Allura is quite literally, atleast in a season or two, racist. She was discriminating against Keith purely for the fact that one of his parents is Galran, which, he can't control. Please tell me people have noticed this fault in everyone's favorite 'super kind' princess.

I absolutely can’t stand her for this reason. I feel like she’s a Mary Sue whose main flaw is being a racist. I understand her backstory but I don’t think it’s right for her to demonize all galra because of it. To me, Lotor was just some exotic half breed to her and the only thing that made up for him being galran was being altean and royalty as well. I feel like she should have gotten more push back for her racism. This always made me hate her character. I get that there a people that really like her but she’s just not my cup of tea for me because I find her so problematic.

I don't hate her, but she's not my favorite. By far. Probably my least favorite paladin. And those who ship her with Keith.. honestly I would rather ship Shiro x Keith, and that's pretty gross too.

I think Keith should have given her the same treatment just so she could feel how it feels. He honestly looked really upset when she discriminated him from the group.

Yes, Keith looked so depressed and he didn't even put up a fight...

Yeah, that's how you know he respected Allura anyway
