And sometimes, someone who can write amazingly well can be a total outsider and still make me, an insider, feel like I'm reading an insider's text. Ignoring the question of whether I should dismiss the outsider's appropriation (or input?), the real question for me, as a reader, is: how the hell am I supposed to be able to tell?

Not fiction, but this is what annoys the hell out of me about development economists who think they can fix the problem of poverty, especially the ones who talk about the time they've spent in Africa etc.

I just dropped the entire RaceFail thing because I decided it was a waste of my time. I very much agree about the privilege thing...then again, I'm female with a distinctly non-white name (most people can't pronounce it), and I've ignored the entire race thing by coming up with my own, for most part.
