->'''Kim:''' I was created by the Death Priests of M'argle'Tstrxlt as one of their Avatars of the Icy Beyond. For the first twenty years of my life, I mastered all of the deadly arts. [...]\\

->''"Most of Israel’s critics, especially abroad, see the country as a one-dimensional monolith. As they see it, all its (Jewish) citizens are marching in lockstep behind their rightist government, consumed by a dark ideology, supporting occupation and settlements and committing war crimes. This, by the way, is a mirror image of the admirers of Israel in the world, who also see Israel as a one-dimensional monolith, with all citizens marching proudly behind their brave and determined leaders -– Binyamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak and Avigdor Lieberman. The truth is far removed from both these caricatures."''

That, I think, is, from the author's point of view, part of the appeal of what I call Chinese menu fantasy, where the Tolkienesque band of protagonists has [[FiveRaces one archetypal elf, one archetypal dwarf, etc.]] It's much easier to make the characterization work. And I'm not denigrating this approach. I wouldn't dare, now that I've done the diverse band of heroes myself in my dragon thingie.\\

->Kin lay in her bunk, thinking. She thought about how attitudes to aliens got stereotyped. [[MultiArmedAndDangerous Kung]] were [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy paranoid, blood-thirsty and superstitious]]. [[BearsAreBadNews Shandi]] were [[DissonantSerenity calm, blood-thirsty]] and [[MonstrousCannibalism sometimes ate people]]. Shandi and kung thought that [[HumansAreInsane humans were blood-thirsty, foolhardy and proud]]. Everyone thought [[HufflepuffHouse the Ehfts]] were funny and nobody knew what the Ehfts thought about anyone.
->It ''was'' true that, once, four kung had boarded a grounded human ship during the bad old days and killed thirty-five crew before the last kung went down under the weight of Clipe needles. It ''was'' true that on certain diplomatically-forgotten occasions, shandi had, with great ceremony, eaten people. So what? How could you evaluate this unless you could think [[BizarreAlienPsychology like an alien]]?
->We dismiss each other with a few cliches, she thought. It's the only way we can live with one another.
