There really isn't a lot of encouragement to write multiracial humans. (Unlike, say, elves, which get eighty bajillion different flavors everywhere. What's up with that?!)

The points about a lack of coverage of sexuality and disability are good ones. I expect it's probably missing for the same reason it doesn't come up normally as a topic in mainstream US stuff- we try to hide it away because some folks get all squirmy and nervous.

Interestingly (maybe), I'd encountered that list some time ago, but never bothered to read it. Score one for laziness, I guess. >_>; (Or maybe just for preferring to study actual anthropology rather than other people's pretend anthropology. Reality is always more creative than people are.)
