Salon article "If Tolkein were Black"

What I love about this article is that it addresses the color bias in fantasy, but the title is misleading, it has nothing to do with Tolkein.  Instead, it is a more interesting, if too short, discussion of race in fantasy with two of the more promising young writers in the genre currently; NK Jemisin, and David Anthony Durham.  Take a moment and read it here:
