This roll call, from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
deadbrowalking, is a response to yet another white SFF writer displaying ignorance of the long-standing presence of fans of color - not yet six months after RaceFail '09. You don't have to write anything lengthy or clever - this post is merely an attempt to get a (however incomplete) count of fans of color, after the nth time a white writer/reader said, "Wow, there's non-white people in SFF?"
And people wonder why we need to specify "'09" after "RaceFail" ... The ignorance is here, again, still.
This wasn't how I intended my first post on Dreamwidth to go. Ah well.
