Multicultural Ensembles in Steampunk

I have discussed this before and will do so again, but for now I will simply post a link to an excellent article about how narrow it is to think of Steampunk (the capitalized version that refers to the sub-culture itself) as in any way limited to European, much less purely British, or Victorian era clothing, science, fiction, or aesthetics regardless of the powerful influence in the culture's origins of authors like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne (who was decidedly not British!).
