    Timothy Sandefur Retweeted Wesley Yang

    The logic of this bullshit is just... Can a California author write a novel about Okies in the Depression? Can a Chinese-American writer include a character who’s half-Indian, half-Irish? Can a Navajo writer include an Apache character in a novel?https://twitter.com/wesyang/status/1276554006375120896 …

    Timothy Sandefur added,

    White YA author who included a Gullah woman in the novel she is withdrawing. "it is wholly my decision to withdraw the book in order to mitigate the harm I have done. I have work to do to improve myself and my writing, and I will continue doing it.

        New flash: Bette Greene was not in fact a German soldier. Harper Lee was not a black man accused of rape. E.B. White was not a mouse. ...and I think we all know about a certain UckleberryHay InnFay that we shall never, ever mention...pic.twitter.com/aoz1rR3zed

        This is the season for them... Remember how silly it seemed that tearing down monuments would lead to statues of Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson being torn down?

        Nope. In the future all white novelists will only be allowed to have white characters in their books.

        First mistake: don't grovel. Second mistake: don't withdraw the book. Third mistake: don't apologize. Solution: publish the damn book.
