I hadn't thought about how I felt about white translators, but I think, tentatively, if the original was by a non-white person and the translation was done with some degree of respect inasmuch as I can determine that, I'm okay with it. Otherwise I'm going to cut myself out of a lot of works written by people-who-are-not-white who live in other countries and/or who wrote long ago, and I think that would be sad.

So, thank you for the reminders! (I read excerpts of Genji in college, but never the whole thing.)
