Let me say at the outset that I love Wiscon, I always love Wiscon, and this year was no different. I am bitchier than usual about it this year for a number of reasons, including that four panels turns out to be just too many for me to be on, and that I didn't get organized enough to write my notes before I left, so I missed a lot of stuff I wanted

"Maybe the problem is that we all call ourselves white or black or Hispanic..."

Whoo. I had a hard time parsing this one. I believe the intent is the old canard "If we stopped identifying ourselves with labels than differences wouldn't exist."

I'm looking forward to more reports. My gaming con was fun, but I still want to know what happened.

That indeed was what was meant.
