Is the western canon done for or will it live on? Most lay people don't really know what it is

The western canon will be decided on in a 100 years, when the political pendulum has long swinged back into conservative territory.
the meme novels by black people won't be valued in a 100 years with only a few minor exceptions (actual good novels)

The emphasis is shifting that's all.
Where once it was England, France and Russia that produced the great works of literature that endured for generations now it's Australia.

By definition the "Western canon" can only contain books written by white people.
