1. What Shaun and Emitt said in particular.
2. My big problem with terms like "white supremacist" being lobbed at the likes of Tim Green, who does not seem to consciously believe that white people make better poets, is that it poses the question of what we do with the likes of the usual suspects like John and Charlie, who do?
3. New York's population, as of 2008, was around 44.6 percent white, including some who identify as both white and Hispanic. Even with a small sample, a 100% white feature is highly suspect, as Tim Green notes. Either the racists are right and white men make significantly better poets, or the general racial biases of American society have infected the submissions process (probably unintentionally) and should be addressed.
Stay classy, John and Charlie!
