I can't understand why Ursula LeGuin is talking so much about skin color. I can see she's trying to not be racist. But in doing so, she's perhaps being one ?
If we truly don't care about skin color, why all the talk about it in her article ? What's she trying to prove ? That you need to have proper percentage representation ? What does it have anything to do with the story ? Its really silly to see people go out of their way to show there's no racism and in doing so, they're being racist. Like in the TV ad's where you have the token african-american people in the ads just to balance. This is crap.
She's all confused. If she's writing a futuristic story, she needs to step away from the past issues. It doesn't matter how much skin color is on screen. All that matters is what the story is.
btw, there are 1 billion Indians ( brown ) and 1.5 billion chinese ( yellow ) in a 6 billion Earth population. does this mean we need 16% brown and 20% yellow all the time to represent Earth ??
we live in a democracy. anything over 50% is majority and applies to all "people". So yes, by majority, it is a mandate. Since GWB got over 50% it is mandate and he is our president. ( even yours ) where did you get 27% from ?
are you an idiot, Anonymous coward ? The elections are over. The people did thankfully vote yes to GWB. crawl out of your rat hole and get over it. People voted kick kerry.
Are you sure you'd be willing to donate tens of thousands of dollars ? Especially with a name like "Anonymous Coward" ? Here's the address btw, 320 Park Avenue New york, New York, 10022 USA
