I am not Goth however, as a woman of color, I am glad to see that you are taking an intelligent stance on the misrepresentation of people of color in the Goth universe. Do da damn thang, Girl!

There's resistance to actually getting out of our collective Gothic depression into something more, well, in sync with the world. Could this resistance be a symptom of wanting to still be different? The Goth world is one of the few that really doesn't advertise it's diversity. Hell, even Ann Klein at the mall now has interracial couples in their ads. This is another way to keep our separatism, I think. Yet, I don't think that it's racism, per se. It's more being misguided, perhaps. It IS intimidating.

You took all my feelings/emotions and formed something so beautifully written! I am impressed and I couldn't have said it better. Sadly, some places, magazines, and websites STILL haven't changed....I honestly think that change scares them because it's almost intimidating. Wow…I am speechless..
