Racism in the romance novel industry?
Racism wank among published romance novelists? Apparently, it's out there.

Millenia Black was told to make the characters of her second novel black because she herself is African-American by her publishers. Many people, including Karen Scott are suitably outraged. But, as all such topics do, the wank follows when Shawn weighs in, both on her own blog and in the comments of Karen's entry by comparing Ms. Black's situation to slavery and then demanding to know why people aren't commenting like they should on these posts.

It's a lot of spooge, some of it TLDR, and so should be fun for the whole family.
