I am not accusing Jim or anyone on this forum of being racist. There are many characters of different races in the books who are heroes; the books do not advance hatred. I am a fan. I do, however, cringe a little whenever I read the phrase "the White God" or "the White Christ" and I would like to explain why. There is a problem in white supremacist circles where they insist that they are God's chosen people and that Jesus was unequivocally white. I don't think you believe that nor do I think anyone here is suggesting that.  However, I think that, for some of us, that history can feel more raw and closer. I am fairly young (in my thirties). I am an active volunteer in my local branch of the NAACP in North Carolina where I live. An old woman earlier this week began crying at a meeting because the events in Charlottesville reminded her of her 5 friends who were murdered by the Klan. For me, despite knowing that it isn't the intention, I cringe a little at the phrase "The White God" and "The White Christ." I suspect that I am not the only person who has ever felt this way. I don't know what to suggest for a replacement term. "DF-verse God" is clunky, though honestly that is how I think about it in my head.
