Back in the 1970s, a lot of publications reported on Gerald K. O'Neill's ideas for space colonies.
I was thinking about the illustrations (which always showed pretty and clean little towns folded into the cylinders) and something occurred to me. Am I right in thinking that the people in those illustrations were invariably white? Because I read a lot of this kind of thing in the 1970s [1] and I can't recall any crowds scenes that were particularly diverse.
Obviously one market for O'Neill colonies is to provide a refuge for an extreme form of white flight but I am a little surprised that the illustrations would be so blatant about it.
1: There's no real need to buy any book on the subject more recent than, oh, 1980.

There's Joel Rosenberg the F&SF writer and Joel C. Rosenberg, the prophecy thriller writer. Any others?
