(no subject)

[la_vie_noire]

Taken from... a lot of people.

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me, something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about, or something you've always been curious about but have never asked, or something completely silly that you'd like me to answer for kicks. No limits on the range of questions, either: ask me anything you want to know about, whether it's a fannish opinion or a question about a fic of mine or trivia about my real life or my thoughts on events in the offline world. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!

Going to school now.

Thank you for such a detailed response!

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

Well, it's not much of an "internet meme", but a social problem that obviously manifest itself in our relationships in fandom, so it's not a problem to talk about racism in fandom, because it's not so different to "real life" racism. :)

Ah, you are right, actually, due english-speaking 1st world countries having most of the world resources, it's more easy to find information and discussion about them because their people have better internet access. That's how privilege works too.

Yeah, internet it's a pretty amazing thing, sadly still isn't for everybody thanks to capitalism. But there is a lot of discussion going around by non-western people in non-western countries!

Oh, thank you! I suck at cooking, but I'm sure as hell would love to prove that. XD
