Something I’m noticing about myself as a reader: I’m picturing the characters Black.
Octavia Butler does not describe them thus way. She writes science fiction and some characters are actual aliens (as with the title short story). With the human characters, she is cautious not to mention skin color, perhaps to make it universal. Characters have beards, scars, thin effeminate features, but skin color is absent.
