You're very welcome! This was hardly exhaustive by any means. And there are folks out there who are MUCH more eloquent on the subject than I am.

If you are interested in the subject of race (and the intersection of race and gender in the buffyverse and fandom, perhaps THE place to start is "Origin Stories", a fanvideo made by
[livejournal.com profile] glandujakiss but conceived and commissioned as part of a charity auction by
[livejournal.com profile] thuviaptarth, eventually posted on YouTube with the tagline "It's Nikki's fucking coat", meant to critique both canon and fandom tendencies to privilege white men at the expense of people of color.

[livejournal.com profile] glandujakiss posted their critique and meta notes of the work and I admit that I found the meta more informative than the video itself http://giandujakiss.livejournal.com/365211.html
[livejournal.com profile] thuviaptarth posted their own meta notes on the subject http://thuviaptarth.livejournal.com/92385.html

Taken together it's a masterclass in the art of using fandom creativity to interrogate race and gender privilege.
