This is probably an incredibly stupid question but when Americans use the phrase People of Colour does it specifically mean of African origin, or does it mean not Anglo/European?

Wiki has stuff to say on the subject but also says you can go either way which isn't exactly helpful. I'm curious to know where Spanish, Japanese, Chinese etc. fall.

ETA: Breakdown of Character Fates and Race for Supernatural S3

I’ve been gently following the kerfuffle about an illicit audio recording of A Few Good Men which quickly made it onto the megawebnet.

In an age of rampant television piracy, movie piracy and bootleg concert recordings I'm surprised it made the splash in fannish circles that it has. I suspect this is partly due to timing and if this had happened pre-Asylum (must protect the Ackles), pre-FanLib (must protect the Fandom) and pre-Strikthrough07 (must protect the World from the Fandom) then people would be a darn sight less twitchy.

Not that I'm complaining; these events have spurred an incredible surge in highly articulate, ethical, intelligent discussion of any number of important issues. I am awestruck, I am impressed. To my mind, 'now' is always a good time to talk about ethical behaviour.

First just let me say I love Heroes, I love it LOTS, and I love it for it’s steady character development, plot arc and humour. I love the geek-talk, the effects, the variety of characters and the way the various abilities are being explored.

I adore Supernatural but it’s not for the plot, at least not at episode level. The overall myth-arc fills me with love as does the angst, intense focus on family and those oh so manly brother dynamics.
