Dear Author!

Thanks for writing these pairings for me; I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.

back when Star Trek, The Reboot first came out...

...and there were people screeching over Spock/Uhura, someone wrote an essay about how non-white female characters weren't usually allowed to have romances and why it was important for them to have storylines that allowed them to be active participants in their own romantic relationships and not just the exotic non-white prize for the white guy to win at the end.

Does anyone remember that essay, or, at least, the arguments that it detailed?
