Earth Abides/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Set in around the black sharecropper settlement in the South, who immediately are wary of and defer to Ish during his stopover on his trip across country. In the far future they're stated to still be raising cotton for their long-vanished landlords. Apparently not even the complete collapse of civilization and the near-extinction of the human race is enough to end Jim Crow.

* [[Values Dissonance]]: The "horrible secret" that Ish's love interest has been hiding is that she's part black. To his and his [[Fair for Its Day|creator's credit]], Ish laughs at the thought that this would seriously be a problem.
