I agree if we're talking about Anansi Boys

but not if we're talking about American Gods

[(Anonymous)]

Was Fat Charlie in American Gods?

[(Anonymous)]

...I assume you're referring to Shadow with that comment but I definitively think this secret applies to him as well. He's described pretty plainly as not white.
Multiple times.

[(Anonymous)]

we've had this argument a million times before and I am never going to agree with you

he's not described pretty plainly as not white multiple times. the fact that he's not white is alluded to multiple times. there is a difference between those things.

[(Anonymous)]

IA, but you'll never convince the people who for some reason INSIST that just because other characters treat Shadow as if he's clearly not white doesn't mean that Shadow isn't a white guy. I'm not sure why they need race to be spelled out in three foot letters before they'll allow the possibility that the protagonist is of mixed race, but I'm sure they have perfectly non-bigoted reasons. /sarcasm

I guess the fact that Gaiman's said that Shadow isn't white counts for nothing with them, either.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree that he's black

i don't agree that the fact that he's black is so clearly and unambiguously stated that no reasonable reader could miss it. i think it's fairly easy to miss and i don't blame anyone who does so.

[(Anonymous)]

Why does "not white" always equal "full black"? There are more "races" than black and white.
But then again, I'm not American and I never got this obsession with "races".

[(Anonymous)]

I have no frame of reference for this character or book, but I get the feeling that you're the same sort of person who talks about all the words nobody should say because it's bad connotation has become the default meaning.

And yet, you're more than happy to call people racist. Acknowledging that there's a more accurate phrase without a bad connotation means squat if you're not going to use it where it counts.

[(Anonymous)]

I literally have no idea what the fuck you're talking about

[(Anonymous)]

I do know what the anon above you is talking about. The anon is flat out wrong and thick in the head. And likely a troll, which is worse than being truly ignorant.
