Year to Date

Works by POC: 50.75 (41%)
And now for the meaningless, outdated chart.
Numbers drawn from the most recent Strange Horizons Count, which is so old Americans weren't keeping kids in dog cages, Britain wasn't facing economic collapse and widespread Anglo-style cannibalism, and Ontario wasn't a kleptocracy.
Key: WNB stands for “women and non-binary genders”, while POC stands for “person of colour”. R stands for reviewer. R/R stands for “reviews/reviewers”. For R/R % the percentage represents the site’s R/R over my 2015 R/R. POC/R is the ratio of reviews of works by POC to reviewers at that site. POC/R % is the previous ratio expressed as a percentage. SFX is actually called SFX; it is not short for anything. Same with io9. F&SF is the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. SFS is Science Fiction Studies. LARB is the Los Angeles Review of Books. CSZ is the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
