    I tried to get this in a few issues back, but apparently it was overlooked.

      Your post doesn't reference fandom at all and comes across (to me, anyway) as a general race poll.

        *shrug*

        To me it was definitely intended to be about fandom. There has been much talk about race in fandom lately. A lot of these discussions make generalized statements about black people/white people/people of color.

        I have found discussion on some of these matters to be somewhat inaccessible at times and I wondered if there could be some misunderstandings. That people talk about "black" and "white" (at least potentially collective terms) while threy really just mean the US situation.

          Thoughts on yaoi, but rather than my thoughts on slash, they're thoughts on why there're thoughts on slash to begin with, and about female sexuality:

              Two links from [livejournal.com profile] verstehen.

              The first is about the bias of the census meme and isms in canon source (contextual) versus fannish interpretation (metatextual). It can be found .

              The second follows up on that by discussing anti-intellectualism, using the show Eureka as a case study within the scifi genre itself. Here (http://verstehen.livejournal.com/333403.html).               (http://verstehen.livejournal.com/333273.html)
