Unconscious Sexism and Racism in New Moon
Good analysis on the huge difference between how "alabaster"-skinned and darker-skinned characters are portrayed.

I lold at the comments section XD
good article! it speaks the truth!
It was certainly an interesting article. I had made the racist connection between the 'alabaster' vampires and the native wolves before but never thought about it in such detail.
Best part? The rabid fans' comments, as usual!
I love how in comments, everyone commants 'you are clearly old.'
Example:
You are obviously a middle aged or older man and don’t get this at all. You wear very serious, sceptical “glasses”, where there are hidden agendas and meaning to everything. And usually, I would applaud you, and encourage you to apply your mind to rooting out social evils. But I would like to assure you that this is a very shallow and simple story.
Girl spots the broody guy in the corner (nod to any Byronic hero in untold tales), there is something keeping them apart (hello Romeo and Juliet) and they struggle to get together and keep their celibacy intact (Stephanie Meyer’s mormon upbringing). The magic ingredient added to this mix was the unlikely casting of Robert Pattinson, a guy the girls went ga ga over.
You need to imagine yourself as a sixteen year old girl or a bored housewife watching the spin cycle on the washing machine. Then imagine a guy who sparkles in a meadow, madly in love with you and it explains the box office records. The wolf pack and vampires are “fluff” background noice to move the story along.
Relax, Elvin. You don’t need to protect us girls from anti-feminism. We are just drooling at Edwards chiseled face. Apply your mind to something higher than teenage hormones.
These commenters are crazy. Chiseled? Honestly?
