mdehnersIs it just me, or has there ben over the last 20 yrs an increasing anti-Euro "tilt" to Sci-Fi but esp to Fantasy writings? I mean, I've noticed this irritating bit for yrs but it seems to be becoming the Standard....or maybe just in my taste in literature;>!
It's got to be that in pretty much any book I read, certainly in American-authored Fantasy that unless the Blonde is an Elf, a Woman or Gay, they are one of the Bad Guys.Even when the Good Guys is light skinned and eyed, there's always a point to pointing out some Other Ancestry to make them "OK" in the Reader's eyes...
Most Annoying....
