This was fine. Anthologies can be rough, but doing things like this is nothing but a net benefit for uplifting marginalized communities. Because this is about race, we've got some racist reviews here.

Briton seems to think that publishing comics that celebrate an immutable characteristic is divisive. This is not the case. It's only divisive if you have a problem with people celebrating who they are. Nothing in any of these comics is at the expense of people outside of whichever group is being celebrated. The reason it's good to celebrate these groups is because society's treatment of them is not up to par with what it should be, and these people are looked down upon for it. We need to uplift marginalized groups instead of ignoring them.

Merlyn thinks it is cringe to point out how Asian people are treated. The term cringe is so overused, and it's become a blanket term to hide behind when you want to point at something and call it degeneracy or claim it is invalid, and yet any which way you do that would make you look like a piece of shit. In this case, it would make you look like a racist piece of shit.

Vern isn't being racist, as far as I can tell, but they are perpetuating this super fucked up conflict between Asians and African Americans in the US. This goes back a very long time, it isn't a new thing that BLM created, nor is it a by-product of having a BLM movement, nor is the BLM movement inherently racist towards Asians. This sort of conflict is actually a product of Asians being seen as the "good minority" by white people. This is because Asians are considered hard working and smart. The actuality is that Asians fall prey to the many problems all minorities face in this country, and the scales for their socioeconomic and educational statuses are skewed due to specific immigrants that come to America who are wealthy and highly educated. Anyway, all this is to say that Asians are propped up as being "better" than African Americans, Hispanics, etc, and this creates a tension between these groups, beyond the tensions that already exist in the lower classes. Don't perpetuate this sort of thing, it's bad for everyone. more

Pretty much perfect.

No idea how such an odd thing got published, but it's delightful.

This book is cute and queer and I really wish I liked it more than I do.
