Webcomics about minority groups
March 7, 2012 1:21 AM Subscribe
Please recommend regularly-updated webcomics that are largely about the experience of a minority group.
Nearly every day, I spend a few minutes reading through the webcomics I subscribe to on a webcomics tracker. The ones about minorities give me frequent exposure to groups that I don't regularly encounter, humanizing them (I realized this when thinking about That Deaf Guy). My daily routine might help reduce whatever implicit bias against these groups I might have. Adding comics about other groups that I might be unwittingly biased against seems like a pretty painless way to possibly better myself.
There are a lot of good LGBT comics out there; I think I'm set on those. I'd be particularly interested in comics about the Black experience, First Nations peoples, Latinos, schizophrenics or bipolar people, and the physically challenged.

I believe it's also syndicated, but maybe Secret Asian Man? I regularly touches on aspects of being part of a minority group in the US.
Also not really a webcomic, but maybe also Dykes to Watch Out For, though you'll have to find it in your local alt-weekly.

Oh, crud, I just read the bit about being good for LGBT comics ... oh, well, I regret nothing!

Response by poster: Thanks to everyone who responded. I'm surprised I got so few responses. I thought that webcomics would be a natural fit for describing minority experience.
