May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Though I wasn't familiar with this site (I came across it by googling to see if anyone was talking about my article), I am a big Firefly fan. In fact, one of the reasons I pushed to have Gina on the cover was that I'm a big fan of the show (we even spoke briefly about the planned movie!). So the question of why it was left out of the article is simple: I'm a dumbass. I was so sure I mentioned it that in my excitement about having an actress I really liked on the cover, I totally forgot :( The funny thing is I was actually watching the Firefly DVD the night after the issue was put to bed when the seed of doubt over whether I omitted Firefly took root. Sure enough, that Monday morning I checked and it was, but by then it was too late. My apologies Firefly fans. I screwed the pooch on that one. -Alan

Quote:"Lack of recognition that Latinos of African descent get in American society and the world." Is there a large % of the population in American that IS Latino of African descent? Can someone else name a person of Latino/African descent? I can't. Must the USA go out of its way to recognize and honor, chairise EVERY ethnic group and combination of every group in the world? It boils down to we're all people, I'm really tired of the whole “bow and honor my race" crap.
Quote:Last time I checked, the rest of the world doesn't do this, why should we?
Quote:I guess because if America doesn't, then we're all racist.
Quote:Sorry, but we don’t have enough months in the year and channels on the TV to do it.

Quote: Look, I don't get race. I don't think it is either an accurate or relavant description of folks. People is people, regardless of what their skin tone may be. I think it is high time to just toss the entire concept of race on the bonfire and be done with it. It was a fraud to begin with, and didn't even work in any arbitrary way, like traffic lights.

Quote:Originally posted by Jahzara: I agree with the fact that race is irrelevent, but not meaningless. In my case, its hertitage from my ancestors. It doesn't dictate who I am, but it is a part of me... Race will always be a issue until EVERYONE lets go of it. In a few a few decades, there will be more "minorities" than...majorities? So eventually it won't matter anyway, everyone will be so intermixed.
