fen of color check-in

Are you a non-white/PoC reader/viewer of SF/F?

There's this amazing thread over here asking people to check in, thanks to the latest iteration of this wacked out belief that there are no PoC invested in the genre.

Despite having a really mixed background that involves non-white ancestry on both sides of my family, I've lived my whole life with white privilege, so I haven't checked in, as I think it's both presumptuous and a bit counter to the purpose of the thread, but as someone who tries to be a good ally, I think this is a marvelous thread, and I encourage anyone to check it out.

Also? Me and my writing partner. Yes, PoC fans exist. And that this has to keep being explained to people is some seriously annoying shit.
