You know what might actually make an impact?

Talking to major (http://www.susangroppi.com/2009/03/things-we-say-and-dont-say/) editors (http://vectoreditors.wordpress.com/2009/03/08/reasons-to-care-about-racefail/), writers (http://papersky.livejournal.com/426950.html), and future writers in the sci fi community about racism in their (in our) community. Starting a small press. (http://community.livejournal.com/verb_noire/) Funding people of color travelling to conventions. (http://community.livejournal.com/fight_derailing/)

I don't care if you think it's repetitious; it is "making an impact" in a community that is traditionally so white and male it explodes upon contact with sunlight. To claim otherwise is kind of bizarre.
