it's now all of a sudden offensive. and to my actual point, because I'm tired and getting a lil stir crazy a particular publisher has been churning out some super problematic books with cartoon covers but the only ones that garner this kind of outrage from white readers are the
ones written by a white author. meanwhile a biracial woman wrote a racist, anti-Black, tragic mulatto narrative that deploys old stereotypes about my community while purportedly speaking to the experiences of people like me and with my background and everyone just let it rock.
I've watched a bunch of the same people who are scandalized about this messy political romance put that book and plenty of others just as anti-Black on best of lists, rate it 5 stars, make pretty aesthetics posts w/it on Instagram & invite the author to talk about this book
without any critical depth or challenge. so don't say "read the room" about a republican MMC & use current events to support that outrage when that woman deployed a centuries-old racist stereotype in 2020 and you helped her.
