(11,023 posts)I saw him at a comic convention this weekend in conversation with Cory Doctorow, which they called "Two White Men talking about politics, covering the political spectrum from Radical Leftist to Flaming Liberal."
They discussed a lot about privilege and how it is changing - Doctorow said "Because people who don't look like us are sick of putting up with our shit."
They also offered reading recommendations for sci-fi fans who wanted different perspectives, like NK Jemisin.
My favorite part, however, was when it came time for Q&A, Scalzi said (and he did this at every other panel he was on), I want to hear from other voices, so the first person who asks a question should be a woman, then I'll ask a man. He also said that any LGBTQ or POC could immediately come to the front of the Q&A line.
