Amen! And thanks for that.
Re #48:
Oh, your reply to Gregor made your point clearer to me! Now that I see the distinction you're drawing between "fantasy" and "historical literary", I feel deeper sympathy with your dilemma. I even agree that "fantasy" in a narrow sense (as a niche literary/pop-culture tradition based on some specific elements drawn from from Tolkien and from pulp-era swords & sorcery fiction) is irredeemably racist. OTOH, I think it's high time we redeem "fantasy" from that narrow connotation...
