Fucking for real? Why are men like this? The only female rep on your shelf is cishet, white, middle class? And when asked about women of color, the only thing you can come up with is basically old-timey Candace Owens? I literally don't understand why they're like this.

It's even worse because if you ask them about black male authors they wheel out shit like Richard Wright and Chester Himes, who have no intersectional understanding the slightest, and are misogynistic, and play up tropes of black men as sexually violent in their own novels due to internalized oppression. It's like they have understanding whatsoever of how to select marginalized voices unless it can somehow be made "problematic." When are they going to get some taste, and a clue? So fucking tired of these people.

Right now, in San Francisco, some public school leaders are being kicked out because they are shutting down gifted programs, due to low attendance by coloreds, and restricting the amount of Asians who can get into prestigious public schools.
As a result, these ousted leaders are calling the Asian parents uncle Toms since they don't fight for their colored allies due to succeeding under systemic racism.

[Anonymous No.19953554]

In America, the notion of being 'colored,' being a 'minority,' and being 'disadvantaged' are deeply intertwined. East Asians used to have a similar minority status to other non-white groups in the country, but later in the 20th century they began to break the mold by outcompeting whites in their own institutions – they generally perform better than they do in the elite universities, and so on. And so Americans don't know quite what to do with them, since although whites retain residual power in higher institutions, East Asians (and South Asians) actually are more advantaged in most institutions that whites are, and overrepresented in them heavily. Bsically, if you allowed Asians into these institutions based on their merits, they would become almost all-Asian. And so they have recently tried to shuffle them out of the category of being 'people of color' or 'minorities' to stop them from receiving advantages that would basically turn America's higher institutions into Asian ones.

>middle class?
The idea that someone would have a problem with this is hilarious. How many authors grew up as poorfags? Most poorfags are barely literate. Pre 1930 they were basically all illiterate.
Most authors who write about being poor were actually middle class or trust fund kids who chose to LARP as poorfags in their 20’s in order to curate an image for their protohipster audience.

Sorry, but I believe it is deeply racist and tokenistic to read black female authors simply so I can namedrop them in conversations with white women to impress them.
