WTF. The people writing this shit need to check themselves. If "We already have a white author" or "Caucasians wouldn't use such complicated language" sounds daft and offensive to you, then it's offensive to minorities X100.https://twitter.com/tadethompson/status/1022841934577061888 …

Actual responses I've received as part of rejection letters:
1. "I like the writing, but we already have a black author."
2. "If you can change the indicated words in the manuscript we will accept it. I'm just not convinced that Africans would use such complicated English terms."
