White privilege

Zetta Elliot has an incisive post on her blog, with links to more in-depth material and also to a substantial interview by Doret at the Happy Nappy Bookseller with Stacey Whitman of Tu Books about starting up an imprint focused on multicultural fiction for young readers.

Zetta's absolutely right that if we care about equality, white people need to get our shit together.  This is not news to me but occasionally I need reminding.
