The Twilight saga is a lot of things:

Ridiculous.  Under-edited.  Repetitive.  Amazingly angsty.  Over-the-top.  Addictive.

But racist?

I don't see it.  From the very beginning, I was disinclined to take the comments all that seriously, because before the essay even begins, the author mistakes the white chess piece on the book cover for a king (it's a queen*).  Within the essay, inaccuracies continue.

It seemed like, especially in the comments, the author's accusation of racism was being drawn more from issues with the Book of Mormon than from the Twilight novels. 

Anyway.

*After reading BD, I assumed that the queen was Bella and the pawn was Remesnee**, but according to one of the commenters on the racism post, Stephenie Meyer has said that both pieces represent Bella.  That works, too.

**Still hurts to type that.
