While diversifying our #FVR #CI readers letā€™s remember-white people writing ā€œdiverseā€ characters isnā€™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 culturesā€”their people, their ideas, their identitiesā€”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.
