Okay, here's what I gathered from certain corners of the fandom: before the Hydra reveal, shipping Ward with Simmons instead of Skye was racist. However now, shipping him with Skye is racist. I shipped him with Skye and Simmons before and I ship him with Skye and Simmons now, so that means... what? Do they cancel each other out or what? These people are so confusing. (And by confusing I mean moronic.)

Skye's biracial. Well, Chloe Bennett is half Chinese, but her character's backstory has her born in China so it's assumed that her character is too. As to what difference it makes, well, it gives people a reason to judge other people, that's all that's needed.

Ironically Skyeward has been and still is the most popular pairing, while Ward/Simmons is just a small ship, so there is no danger whatsoever of Simmons taking the spotlight from Skye. Which makes this argument all the more ridiculous.

Ah, that explains it. I actually hadn't noticed the biracial thing from her looks. And I almost never pay attention to actor details (or even remember their names unless there are enough actor fans in my circle who repeat them), and the China part of her backstory somehow slipped past me, though now that you mention it it does sound familiar. Bad fan, no cookie.
