Ah. Good question.

Yeah, they are mostly centered in USA, but that in particular is not something that bothered me (if we are talking about discussions of racism in fandom, because there are a lot of discussions of racism around the english-speaking blogosphere and those are pretty varied) because it gave space to non-white people living in white-dominated countries to talk about their experiences. And personally? It made me note things I had not note before. (Like white privilege in Latin America countries, people don't talk about that here, but it exist, very much.)

It's complicated, I'm going to be honest, my experience tells me that talking about racism of non-white countries in a white dominated fandom is... uh, pretty head-desk inducing.

I'm talking mostly for myself and just myself, and not going to tell other non-white people living in non-western/developing countries what to think.

There is Europe, Canada, Australia, etc., but those are pretty much talked. (A lot of white-European people are in denial too, that's another matter.)

Ahahha, I just googled tamagoyaki. Damn it, I never ate it before. :( But wow, it sounds like something I would love.
