I know nothing about this debate, but I'm curious if there's any connection to the show Community? They use "race kerfuffle" in the episode where Shirley has her baby.

Racefail predates that episode of Community.

Racefail was 2009

I think Racefail fallout made the subsequent writing in the field exponentially worse. Do I need to explain why I would never say this un-anon?

IAWTC. And I also find it interesting to see how the landscape has shifted since then. I think that Racefail also kick-started the "call-out" culture. Everyone was signal-boosting and demanding that everyone weigh in on the issue.

I also think that Racefail signalled the end of the meta fandom era, which makes me sad, as discussing pan-fandom meta was one of the more enjoyable parts of fandom for me.

Racefail is from 2009. It's actually called Racefail '09. It was also very, very multifandom, especially widespread in fantasy fandoms.

IIRC, it was later aggravated some more by a godawful J2 RPS AU fic where Jared and Jensen are aid workers whose epic gay romance is set against the backdrop of the real life Haiti earthquake disaster, in which the real life Haitian victims are written in pretty racist Wise Black Guy ways and exist to facilitate the romance.
