@ Mizmoon
Umm, I don't think the vitriol directed towards the author is because she is pretty and white.
It seems to be more because she is (or puts herself across as)a vapid navel-gazer...and frankly, over the years Salon has done more to champion such people as "writers" {Debra Dickerson, anyone?} than people who actually have any acuity or depth of writing talent.
Alice Sebold is also pretty (to me, at any rate) and white - but if Salon chose to publish an excerpt from one of her, I'm guessing the response would be quite different.
