The original:
In which SF Signal helpfully provides the TOC of The Mammoth Book of Mindblowing SF. Please to note that mindblowing SF is never but ever written by women or writers of color. Samuel Who? Ursula What's Her Name? James--wait, wait, don't tell me, it'll come to me.
But I digress. For full "enjoyment," scroll down to antho contributor Paul Di Filippo's posts regarding fields of potatoes and in some way unclear to me, Kim Gordon. And why it's okay for this anthology to be the way it is because it includes a story by him. Well, and the Beatles were all white and male too.
Favorite responses so far:
marydell - "Potatoes actually come in a variety of colors..."
james_nicoll - "I grew up on a farm and when our fields contained one species of plant, it was because we put in a lot of effort to make them that way."
ktempest - Once More, with Feeling: Intersectionality

In their defense, the original title: "The Mezozoic Book of Tedious SF,"
would probably have decreased sales--um, further.
