I'm not sure why russian lit vs. mexican lit isn't more similar than not to java vs. c++. But practically speaking, it seems to me that they should be connected because they are connected by literature experts who specialize in this field. They put these authors on the same graduate-course syllabi. Put another way, [mexican-lit] + [racism] tagged questions will deal with much more specific issues than those tagged just [racism]. Maybe there's a better way to capture this idea in tags. | |

| Jan 24, 2017 at 18:29 | comment | added | Nathaniel is protesting | Alright. I want to agree with you, but based on this, tags would do nothing to connect Juan Rulfo and Rosario Castellanos, even though both are 20th century Mexicans who wrote harshly realistic short stories. If I understand correctly, that means questions about their works wouldn't be associated with each other in "related questions" unless the question text itself had similarities, or the actual subject matter of the stories was similar (and thus both could have a racism tag, for example). | |

| Jan 24, 2017 at 18:16 | comment | added | Nathaniel is protesting | Some of these are big (russian literature, united states), but others are fairly small and somewhat more distinctive (mexico, brazilian-literature). Am I understanding correctly that you would eliminate the smaller ones as well? | |
