Here I think we could push quite a lot further. For instance noting and making a list of books that exoticize women of color according to well known annoying stereotypes (i.e. "Dragon lady" or "magical negro") and talking about why and how that is problematic.; or listing books with the "what these people need is a honky" problem; this in order to note racist patterns in SF -- WHILE I hope also making lists of writers who are women of color, books that interestingly complicate ideas about race (Think of Mindscape!), books with strong female protagonists and noting and praising what is good. I will make it my project this year to add women of color and books with strong female protagonists who are women of color to the wiki and to add relevant categories. for instance tonight I noticed we didn't even have a "women of color" category!--Liz Henry 00:29, 25 April 2007 (PDT)
