"And don't forget, the white guy always gets the sexy native girl! Or a white girl who has been raised native," said one of the panelists.

It's interesting that this is the opposite of romance novels, which always seem to have an 'exotic' male lead rather than a 'native' girl. I suppose that the reader of the romance novel is implicitly female (and white), whereas the audience for the white (male) saviour genre is male (and white).

I'm enjoying these posts so much that I might try to go to WisCon 32, even though I'm not sure exactly where Wisconsin is.
