General Search: Fics dealing with race/racism  
Basically I'm looking for fics that deal with race/racism in some way or form. It doesn't have to be what the whole fic is about, but a good majority or a major mention of it. It could be in dealing with a canon POC (person of color) character (esp Cassie or Victor) or in one of those stories where the author changes a character's race (like Comiendo Entra la Gana by almadeamia) or what it means for the boys/John to have ties to white militia groups. I would especially love stories of some of the POC angels - like Uriel - being subjected to racism.

Any pairing or gen, any length, any character POV. Self-recs always welcomed. Thank you!

Interesting topic. I'll definitely be watching for what else is recced here. The only ones I've come across are:

the way we danced (http://tigriswolf.livejournal.com/331415.html) - Short fic on Cassie.
Bedfellows (http://ivy03.livejournal.com/233691.html) - Victor interviews one of John's white militia contacts.

Thank you for the recs. The Cassie one was new, though I already read the bedfellows one.

The Winchesters and the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit investigate the same case, a series of mysterious deaths on the grounds of a South Carolina plantation.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but the only one I know of is Cowboy by wild wolf free17 and only has one chapter about racism, but it's really amazing. Each chapter is a stand alone in a period of Dean's life, so if you want to skip through it, it's on chapter six. But you should definitely read the whole story.

I totally forgot about this one until I was reading it again. I remember really liking how she wrote ch.1, though honestly I didn't remember ch.6 until I finished it again. Thanks for the rec.

Oh god yes, the racebending challenge. I need to read more of those so I thank you heartily for that link.

Here's another amazing fic from the same challenge, where John and the boys are Diné. Gen and still fairly canon compliant, only with added culture bonus.

When the Badger Grows Horns (http://sarosefics.livejournal.com/11758.html) by Sarosefics
Summary: John Ashiihi Winchester was a warrior at heart, but once he left Dinétah, not even his beloved Grandmother Chee could foresee where his path would lead him -- or his sons.

Yep, read this one, thanks for the rec though. Another good one from the Racebending Challenge for SPN was Lost Symphony (http://archiveofourown.org/works/97400) by shirozora.

Mhmm, I pretty much ran to read that one immediately after I replied to you, haha. It was indeed lovely.
