So maybe there is no racism involved in placing AA romance books in the AA section, unless you count African-Americans preferring to read AA romance rather than non-AA books as a form of racism. If a white romance reader does not want to read AA books, does that make them racist?
Certainly, straight romance readers are not homophobic. There is a thriving market for "hot man-on-man action" in romance, and I beleive it is predominantly women who read it.
