And, for the most part, the blame for this lies on those individuals who read a story and then get offended when an author gets something wrong pertaining to their race. You are wrong about this. You seem to believe that, if people who spotted racist (or just wrong portrayals of race/ethnicity-related issues) told the author they got something wrong without sounding offended, the authors would react better.

They don't. (http://witchqueen.livejournal.com/429727.html?format=light)

And they will continue not to until and unless we can communicate how to properly react which is (1) Write about CoC as best you can, doing as much research as seems necessary to get it right and (2) Expect that you will sometimes fuck it up and (3) When you do fuck up, say I'm sorry, amend the work, and figure out what you did wrong.

Throwing up our hands and saying white people are too stupid or too intrinsically racist to learn better leaves everybody worse off.
