Origi-fic racial meta

I didn't think too hard about race when I wrote Antoinette but I've been thinking on and off about what sort of implications there might be.

( Of course I don't know if anyone else saw racial issues in that story. )

I don't know if this is naval gazing self-indulgence, or something else, but any comments will be screened initally. I'll unscreen them after I see them unless I find them offensive, or you ask me not to. I might misjudge whether something's offensive or not, and if I do then I apologise. I'm not making this post for people to assure me that there's nothing potentially offensive in the issues I recognised, and any comments about that will remain screened as well. I'm aware this policy will slow any discussion that might arise, but I'm not interested in hosting a fight, and if you want a more rapid discussion of any points that arise in the comments you always have the option of taking it to your own journal and leaving a link. I'll edit this post to include any links to further discussion.
