See, I've been trying valiantly to ignore the current clusterfuck of doom that is once again enveloping teh LJ re: certain white authors' clumsy, ahistorical, racially promblematic and downright headdesk inducing handling of minorities and their legends in their sf/historical/ whatever the hell they might be writing about.

this is the fourth iteration re: fiction and appropriation i've seen. it is just me or is it a little more widespread than last time?
