Too much! Now they're twirling their mustaches.
After claiming victimization for herself, this idiot is now hitting up the POC fans she insulted to work on her e-zine! Un-fucking-believable! This is an over the top display of privilege and if you want to know what racism looks like, that is it.

If you need some background on what this has come out of, see rydra_wong's LJ for a collection of links, starting here and here .

No, it's not infrequent, it's just publishers, writers, and fans all together showing their assses as racistly as possible. But the tangling of privileged entry here while still throwing insults--"get involved instead of just bitching" is just more nasty fail than I've seen previously. It's Seal Press combined with fandom wank.

Infuriated. This is just plain evil.

I'm gobsmacked. Not so much by the TPE "start your own 'zine, and get involved that way" racist, but by Elizabeth Bear, of all people, who did seem to have been paying attention, announcing she'd be "happy to participate".

I shouldn't be, but I am. It's really... yeah. If you imagine I'm just going "What? What? What?" in increasingly strained tones of disbelief/shock/etcetera - kind of Time Lord Sees Titanic Bust Through TARDIS Wall - that's about it.
