Mine too. You can tell from the stories Ivan's family is far from perfect (and racism is obviously far, far from it). But I'd hesitate to condemn Ivan because of it - in some ways we are our families, but not in every way.

Ivan Coyote is a queer hero and icon, and one of my favorite artists. Ivan has that rare and sublime artistic ability, like Charlie Chaplin, to make us laugh and cry at the same moment.
When I met Ivan some years ago I noticed some people referred to Ivan in the feminine pronoun and some in the masculine. When I asked Ivan for his/her personal preference Ivan replied, "Whatever you are comfortable with."

i don't guess there's ever a bad time to address racism so I appreciate your mentioning it here. Unfortunately you don't have to scratch very hard at the surface of any white family in Canada--my own included--to uncover racism.
