Check out redhawk's responses to minisinoo's Go Nina (http://www.livejournal.com/users/minisinoo/180539.html). Now, I'm not pointing this out for people to go into that lj and start shit. But, the way redhawk is going on in a the journal of a woman of native-american extraction? That's the kind of thing I've run into with sci-fi fans in discussions of race and ethnicity. That's why I tend to avoid all discussion of race matters with sci-fi geeks. I find they're better informed but there's a combination of privilege-talk, heartlessness, and smugness that has me gritting my teeth.

Average science- and/or speculative-fiction fan, actually.
