Also I don't see Sharna ' complaining' she is legit just talking about the facts, the stats are in that article. That representation in books SUCK!

She clearly thought it was a bad thing or she wouldn’t have bothered talking about, so I think “complaining” is a fair description.
-
She commented.... that’s allowed.... u do it.... or are u complaining? u put the negative spin onit not Sharna she opened debate.
-
Semantics. This is boring now.
-
Lost the argument you mean.
-
Go easy on her, it can’t be easy being a second rate Katie Hopkins.
-
She tries though which is why she doesn’t get a free pass

Julia I was born and bred in Britain, why should white be the default? Why is that ok? My childhood was never seeing myself, on books or really TV. This needs to change. Britain is a beautiful multi-culture society, so in all media our SOCIETY needs to be represented!
-
It’s the default because most of the people in Britain are white and most of the people writing books in Britain are white and most people write about what they know. Maybe you should write a children’s book so you can choose the characters if it bothers you so much.

Also with stupid tweets like this..... look at all the fuck-wits that breed in ur mentions..... come on..... don't be stupid diversity in books matter, we are a society will become better with it.
-
I’m not responsible for what other people tweet. There are plenty of “diverse” characters in children’s books. I doubt that my child cares what colour skin the characters have in the books she enjoys.
-
But Julia there aren’t PLENTY diverse characters there are a few - like the stats said and what
@sharnajackson has done is add more - we should celebrate that that don’t u agree? -
Only if your only vector for diversity is superficial things like skin color. Otherwise, there is a ton of diversity.
