Feminist SF, like SF generally, has handled issues of race, ethnicity, racial prejudice, and institutionalized racism in all manner of ways over the years. Some examples:
- creating diverse representations within the story without specifically focusing on race;
- radical anti-racist treatments;
- "color-blind" treatments;
- stories focused on racism as understood in the historical and present-day Earth societies;
- stories metaphorically treating race and racism in the contexts of aliens, demons, or other kinds of "others";
- stories treating themes that have particular resonance with racism as historically experienced on earth, including slavery or anti-miscegenation laws;
- stories embodying explicitly or propounding explicitly racist ideologies.
