Will Shetterly is the Gary Stu of anti-racist discourse.

He was top of the class!

God *bless*. I swear, if I read one more time about his *parents*' work for civil rights, I may bean somebody with a copy of Das Kapital.

But... but... but... what could possibly be wrong with someone obsessed with class claiming he's inherited the power to excrete rainbows from his every pore?

I didn't say that you lied. I said that you tended to namecheck your parents' actions as if they conferred virtue on you.

I, too, have gotten flak for my parents' actions. Most notably, my best friend was forbidden to talk to me after my parents sold their house to a black family. But it was my parents who made that decision, not me. My parents were the ones who dealt with the flaming cross on the lawn. I was along for the ride.

If you cite something *you* have done, in adulthood, that will carry more weight than repeatedly citing your parents' admirable work, and the things you did in their company when you were growing up.

LOL. Love the red star and the pretty font in the centre!

spiralsheep January 20 2009, 11:23:23 UTC

kadath did a perfect job. I love the cheap-paper texture/colour and the fonts (whether they're retro-commie or spaceba-skiffytastic) and the red star is the icing on the proletarian cake of the people.

I posted it somewhere else too and it's attracted another dozen gleefully appreciative comments so far. You are a Hero of the Revolution. ::hands you HUGE impressive-looking medal on a shiny red ribbon::

brown_betty is frequently awesome and kadath did a perfect job but I think the rl credit should go to willshetterly for the (un)original concept. Oh, wait, the communist economic model doesn't need credit!
