International Blog Against Racism Week starts tomorrow, and runs 6-12 August 2007.

In honour of SF's long tradition of further marginalising people of colour by making them 'the alien', here are some icons:

I'm taking fabulous Teyla fighting racism with sticks -- thank you!

These are awesome, and the Kingsley one rocks my world.

Wonderful! Although I rather liked that they cast a black actor as a vulcan, the epitome of intelligence, logic, and self control. I hated that Voyager did nothing with his character. The actor was GREAT! But yes, how sad about all the black Klingons in Next Generation...
I don't recognize the guy with circular brand on his forehead. What kind of alien is he? (Besides black...)

Kingsley...oh squee!

I'm taking Tuvok and Kingsley, with many thanks.

You're welcome! That's Teal'c, from Stargate:SG1. He is adorable and hot. You can find out more about him (and see more pictures of him looking fine) here: http://rydra-wong.livejournal.com/46207.html

Oh, so nice to finally see where that Shacklebolt icon is from! I've been howling at the sheer *genius* of it every time I've seen it this week, so nice to be able to pay credit where credit is due. :)

Thank you! I confess, it is my favourite.
