I do not care what the sex or ethnicity of an author is. most of the time I have no idea and when I do find out it is of no concern. Is the book going to be a good read to me is the only point I consider when buying books. I did not know that Andre Norton was a woman when I first started reading her books and would have read them any way if I had know. Octavia Butler was a great Science Fiction writer. The fact that she is a woman and black has no bearing on whether I read her books or not. I assumed, because of her name she was a woman, but had no idea what color her skin was. I do not understand why some people think the color of someone else's skin is relevant to anything.
