"OMG! Race mixing! HOW HORRIBLE!!! We'll all end up looking the same, even though whenever I (the author) describe someone they LOOK TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE. Race mixing, culture mixing is BAD BAD BAD. The only thing left is to go to the STARZ. This cute white dude and he'll find REAL DIVERSITY THERE!!!"
Thank you, Robert Silverberg. You finally included my type in SF, and then turned us into the worst thing that could happen to a race. You made us into the symbol of stagnation.
FUCK YOU VERY MUCH.
Remember folks: race mixing is bad, and there are no black people in space.
ETA: It could be that Schwartz is mixed - I'm sure he is though he only talks excessively about his Jewish background... which he traces *paternally* - which in my upbringing doesn't even make him *Jewish*.
