RaceFail '09

I just wanted to make this conversation known to people who are interested. It's mostly about cultural appropriation in the SF/F community. This is not a debate concerning itself with PC and such - it's a discussion of issues that really piss people off. (We're all racist at some point in our lives. Get over it and learn how you can be more aware of the issue.)

Also, since it's a side-point in the conversation due to bad behavior: outing is not nice. People like to go by psuedonyms on the internet for a variety of reasons. Respect what people call themselves on their own blogs and leave it at that. I appreciate everyone who knows my first and last name but has respected my wish to be known as "Liviania."
