Wait, you were talking about a specific zine, not the entire spectrum of "left" pubs (whatever they are). I've not read this specific zine, and it may be completely white and male as you suggest. And if it is, then you discount its critique of the WWP/IAC based on the skin pigment of its editors? What does affirmative action have to do with a punk zine? Are you suggesting that every cultural outlet have an equal racial balance, and that this balance be forged simply because AA is a good thing and not because it has anything to do with said outlet? Naw, Yoshie, you got caught race-baiting, and no amount of AA citing is gonna obscure that.
