25 ways to tokenize or alienate a non-white person around you

… (or, 25 examples of the racism we witness on a regular basis)

by basil, billie, qwo-li, jenn and colin

Examples:

11. ask a native person; “do you make your own jewelry?”

12. use the identity of white anti-racist as a shield against accusations of racism.

(thanks to Walking the Walls for the pointer.

As a game, I started counting how many of the 25 I’ve experienced. Stopped when I’d gotten to 10 and was barely half-way through the list.

  1. Good day,

    I am a journalism student at a college in eastern Canada. I’m working on a profile on author and columnist Charles Saunders and was wondering if any of the authors would like to speak with me about his contributions to science fiction as a black author.

    you can reach me at rsouthwi@dal.ca

    I would deeply appreciate an interview.

    Thank you for your time

    Reid Southwick
