I find some of the anti-racist stuff to be more racist than the racist stuff.
Do you honestly believe my perceptions are so different from yours they are unimaginable?
Anyone who says [blank] people aren't this way, have a limited perspective of [blank] people because you can't know what every person is like by the categories in which they fit.
I'm a black bi woman, and most my stories involve white gay men. If people only had the "right" to write about characters that were like them, then literature would be bland indeed.
