Like, this entire situation is basically because of two white women who wrote/published racist books wanting to be exempt from criticism and a lot of other white women getting mad a woc said "Nope".

And there's also the fact that a pretty vocal and, it seems, influential group of white supremacist (and homophobic) readers/publishers/creators have been preventing more diverse books from being published and/or going after creators who do that kind of work.

I mean, just in the past few years that I've gotten back into historical romance I have seen some almost unbelievably regressive stuff from that quarter that is so racist it's breathtaking. The most common excuse it "historical accuracy" which is blatantly false.
