Ok I will take out the link and quotes and am learning about the sins of review responding!
I think that I do need to take some of this to heart, but the part I am upset about most is that they used the quote "if people used to think different skin was bad and no one cares". (spoken by the MC who has a white father and black mother) The very next sentence is Dawn, who is black, who says "It's not the same thing and you know it." So I really wasn't trying to say that's how I felt. And I wasn't try to say "gay is the new black" either. But then again that might be how it still came across. I really first envisioned a post-racial future just because I think that will be what the world will naturally become.
In the sequel maybe I should make it more apparent that this wasn't my intention . . .
