Or a man acting like the only time he notices gender is when people bring up sexism.</i><br /><br />This confuses me too. I don't understand why the category of "white" is less visible to most of those in it than such categories as "male" or "heterosexual" are for those people. What exactly is it that's different this way about whiteness?macon dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795547197817128339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568548679414256493.post-89263249031093292372010-04-09T11:56:13.185-04:002010-04-09T11:56:13.185-04:00well as Stephen Colbert said, he is default Americ...well as Stephen Colbert said, he is default America. by the way neo-prodigy, people don't want diverse black women. you're better off just going along with the flow. you'll never make any money that way. believe me. i know.Inda Laurynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14239738965344010796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568548679414256493.post-23833487329599273162010-04-08T22:18:22.713-04:002010-04-08T22:18:22.713-04:00In the novel I'm currently writing, it feature...In the novel I'm currently writing, it features and showcases a large and diverse cast of black women. It wasn't anything planned, it just naturally happened that way. Many of the characters in the novel are based on people in my life. Coincidentally, many are based on phenomenal black women with various backgrounds, looks, personalities, etc. Actually the cast itself is immensely diverse with compelling three-dimensional characters and I have no doubt that this story will appeal to a wide demographic.<br /><br />However one of the biggest challenges is that I constantly have to qualify this character is black, this character is black, this character is Asian, because of society's fucked up view that white is the default race.<br /><br />Because when I didn't do that in previous stories and folks found out that a character was a POC, they about flipped their shit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
