Thoughts on my latest visit to TV Tropes:
1. Ooh, have they changed the logo?
2. And why am I seeing ads? I don't usually see ads. Bad adblocker.
3. ...Aaaaand WTF? The ads on the main Race Tropes page, which talks about racist stereotypes and exoticisation, say "Asian girls for love & marriage". Well done there, Google AdWords. I suppose it's nice that you're illustrating the point.
(Mind you, it can work the other way - if I'm reading my forums while logged out, it's amusing to note that homophobic threads always attract ads for gay dating sites, and anti-Muslim threads attract ads for saris, usually.)

Now if only there was as easy a way to tell Americans from Canadians... *grins, ducks & runs*
I've seen plenty of Indigenous Australian and NZ Maori characters, though. Mostly in children's TV from Australia, which we seem to import a lot of.
