An artist could create a story in which a white person dies and goes to a fictional and magical Japan or a fictional and magical Africa, and it wouldn’t be a problem because there are no limits to fiction. But if they made a story in which a Mexican person dies and goes to a magical and fictional Europe, there would be problems. Why are there no limits for white people in fiction, but are there limits for minorities?

    N.K. Jemisin was attacked by right-wingers. The reason? Simple: her story has no white characters and is centered on non-white characters. The story is original, but apparently it’s still woke. If a story can only have white characters simply because the author wanted it that way, then what’s the need to give 10,000 explanations for the existence of minority characters?

      Right wingers are freaking idiots. I wouldn’t let anything that comes from that bunch of xenophobic, racist, strong-man-loving turds. Asking a right winger to explain their viewpoint will just make you feel dumber. Why are you even caring what some stupid, inbred, shallow-thinking bigots think or say?
