Author Sharna Jackson complains that “white characters are the default in children’s books”. In Britain, yes. But that is not the case in books in Nigeria or Somalia or India or Bangladesh. Hmmmm, now can anyone think of a reason why that might be...?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47883118 …

Imagine being a White European born in Lagos, Nigeria then having the sheer arrogance to whine about the stories all containing Black characters Think Nigerians would put with that? Of course they wouldn't & neither should Britons

Also why that comment again is nonsense, I write tv / theatre I write white characters all the time? Am I white no? Can I do it yes? Same with other writers they can write diverse characterspic.twitter.com/5RWRDDq1gp

You can do it but everyone doesn't have to. Every race doesn't need to be included in everything all of the time.

Because people can write what they want. If I wrote about my early childhood there would be zero black people cos there weren't any in a little village in North Wales in the 70's.

90% of all inhabitants in the UK are white and out of the remaining 10%, just under 2 million are of African descendants then out of the 2 million, how many are good enough to be authors? Black people are not victims in every case. Christ!

May I correct you there: *most of the children authors getting published are white. There are plenty of POC writing children’s books that never see the light of day. Thank u, nxt
