Let’s unpack this destructive racist nonsense from the perspective of a publishing professional. I probably look at 50 books for every book I buy, if I’m lucky. As a result, I don’t give feedback for most rejections. So why write these things? Why take the time to be racist?
When I give feedback, it’s usually because I see some potential in the author, and want to help them improve. There’s no way for an author to improve based on this feedback, though.
