But your point so far in this thread is that the 153 aren't in danger and don't care about anyone else. I think that second bit is untrue, but - in any case - isn't your point that David Shor should have written this letter, not the 153. So, it's NOT the ideas that are absurd?

Some might argue that withdrawing a book because of perceived racism with the publisher still willing and happy to engage is a great example of making a mistake and learning from it rather than being silencedpic.twitter.com/E7e9qcmfB1

Some would, I'm sure. But others would argue that it'd be good if Asian writers felt free to set stories about slavery in an Asian setting, right? It's a hard case to paint as a 'great example'.

Did you read the NYT article? The perceived racism was an Asian author setting a slavery story in an Asian, rather than an American, setting. How is that an 'awful opinion'?pic.twitter.com/pDNxh8SHkC

That depends. Do you trust the Black Americans who thought the book was racist, or the author, who didn't?
