Reading up on RaceFail09 through metafandom and feeling increasingly angry and sad. It was bad enough to finally realise last year that I'm the only coloured sf/f fan I know in rl and that coloured people (I'm not even going to try for Iranian, useless) are severely underrepresented in the books I read (Like the book that got me into fantasy when I was 12, Harry Potter. It kinda hurt that the only coloured students were an Indian girl we were clearly supposed to see as inferior to Hermione, a black boy who got on Harry's bad side, for zomg dating Ginny. And some others like Kingsley and Blaise.)
I think this Privilege checklist is a very good example of the things PoC don't have and that white people take for granted. Just to make it clear, my score was, like, zero (and three that were half-half).
PoC but still commenting, yeah
