This is actually a day late for me but I think it's still Monday somewhere in the world :)

Anyway, I'm not feeling very well and couldn't think of anything to say that wouldn't bring the focus back on me instead of on FOC. So instead, and I hope this is ok, here's some fanvids by and/or about FOC(*).

• White and Nerdy, Psych: Both a celebration of the awesomeness that is Gus, as well as poking at the assumption that nerdy=white.
  
• IBARW: vidding COCs, and vidding POCs A collection of fanvids by and/or about POC.
  
• Enter the Wu-Tang, Lord of The Rings, Racefail09: I really can't do this vid justice. Part of the summary: In an alternate universe where orc hordes start an internet flamewar with the good white peoples of middle earth in order drag the blogosphere down into a never-ending age of darkness and wank, the only way men can hope to save their fantasy world is to destroy the source of the POC hive vagina's Sauron's power.
  

(*)There's also lot of fantastic vids which look at the lack/representation of POC in various shows, I have a couple in my delicious recs

I always thought the "white" part of "white and nerdy" was more related to wanting to be a gangster than being a quality of being a nerd, and thus the question should be "why is being black a quality of being a gangster". /random

A bit like "Pretty Fly (for a white guy)"? I can see that. But regardless of the song's intent I think that assumption exists in fandom in general.
