I actually went and looked up part of the racefail controversy and I'm almost embarrassed that I missed it. Actually relieved since a couple of the people involved are people that I hate and even if I agreed with them in these cases I would still find their manner atrocioius.
But the passages from Bear's book - ugh - this is why white people avoid writing about black character entirely because they really don't want to have such awful stereotypical silliness attached to them. But then taht means that they write books where everyone is white.
