While diversifying our #FVR #CI readers let’s remember-white people writing ā€œdiverseā€ characters isn’t the answer.

In ā€œTears We Cannot Stopā€ Dr. Dyson details how white writers appropriate the culture and stories of POC.

I think his comments apply to us.

White writers often ā€œfail to see how other cultures—their people, their ideas, their identities—have always been treated as only fiction, have always been looted of their inherent value and forced to fit in to the schemes, worldviews, or novels of folkā€

ā€œ...especially white folk... invested in denying their own privilege and power to treat these other cultures just as they pleased.ā€

Like when #FVR novels drip w/White Gaze. When #CI readers mine other cultures for their most violent, sensational stories.
