Gosh. I think you just got me on board the Joss Fails at Racial Sensitivity train. Yay!
Yeah, it's not something I noticed either, to be honest. I had to have a lot of this stuff pointed out to me, which I guess just proves my own privilege.
I totally agree about the interracial romances. They aren't even commented on in his work: they're just there. I think that's fabulous, and he deserves props for that.
I think that America still seems to have a problem with this issue. I'm kind of convinced that if Michelle Obama was a white woman, that Barack would never have won the presidency. Huh. I'd never thought of that, but now that you mention it...I think you're right. Sad, sad, sad.
