Ha! I wish! No, that guy can be a tool, but (to paraphrase Jack Sparrow) At least you’ve heard of him. nope, I’m just a baby writer, grinding out a short story here and there and hoping to eventually hit the big leagues. Which is why this "no white guy" thing hurts so much. I understand that PoC and women (and those…

This. God, I agree with everything you said. :-)

THANK YOU. Disclaimer, I am a white male with published sci-fi. some of my friends are white males that publish sci fi, and some of my favorite sci fi has been written by white males.

F&F is a great example of people going to see films, REGARDLESS of race, if they want to see the film. Fine actors, fun movies, great scripts: THAT’s what puts butts in seats, not the race on screen. All of this is a roundabout way of saying we need more POC on screen, in good films.
