I wasn't asking merely about racism within fandoms, but as a whole (which, come to think of it, really is too broad a subject for a simple Internet meme--I'm sorry about that!). It's just that I worry about the U.S. dominating discussions of race relations online (it's usually to be expected in our printed media), as the U.S. seems to dominate discussions of global crises, translations and dubs for foreign media, economics...quite a few things. Clearly, it's not the center of the world, nor are its people the standard by which other peoples should be judged. (I hope only a minority of Americans think of ourselves and our nation this way.)
And I have been interested in finding out how racism and white privilege manifest themselves in other countries. The Internet's proven to be a far more valuable resource than I thought!
Finally, tamagoyaki is delicious and easy to make (if you have dashi or mirin at hand). :D
