I mean, seriously — I don’t understand the responses from those who support this travesty of an anthology. Apparently, the only way women and people of color can be expected to be included in anthologies is if they specificially are labelled as “diverse” or something along those lines.

The mind scarcely has the courage to boggle.

Funny he should talk of vegetables. I’ve been doing my best to wish Paul into the cornfield ever since I’ve read this thing…

I’ve had a standing rule for years that I try to avoid anything edited by Mike Ashley for exactly this reason, and I’m appalled by the idea that Paul Di Filippo thinks it’s OK (another author for my don’t read list, I guess). In response to some other commenters: editorial comments by MA in some of his earlier anthologies suggest that he would think the cornfield analogy a good one, and really believes that the presence of non-white-male people in SF/F drags the field down. Personally, I think the presence of MA in the field drags it down, but hey….
