I liked to believe that eventually we'd all "blend together" into a brownish skin tone... yet India has been mixed for over 1,000 years and still "fair-skinned" actors dominate Bollywood, are considered beauty epitomes, and a "fair-skinned bride" is still a marital ideal.... :( Will we ever rise above skin tone??????

2020-03-19 23:30:01 +0000 UTCGreat episode! Thank you for highlighting the different threads of futurism within the African and African-American literary community, and that not all black sci-fi authors write with the same lens or perspective. You gave me a bunch of new authors to explore - I've read Butler, but Hopkins and Okorafur are on my list now. Thanks!
