      So... we should collectively ignore the racist pattern in favour of the championing pattern? How is that not you asking for good deeds to offset the bad?https://twitter.com/ferrifrigida/status/1359612944766566400 …

      To me it's not about good and bad deeds offsetting each other, more about Meadows finding the racist pattern when the championing pattern is also available. I acknowledge that I've written racist things, but I've also tried v hard to write about diverse books whenever possible.

      No. I hugely appreciate you calling out my racist language. I'm saying that you found a pattern of racism that ignores an awful lot of what I've written.

      The pattern isn't offset or ameliorated by what else you've written. I also didn't accuse you of malice. The point of the exercise wasn't to assess your entire history of reviewing *your* sake, or to pad it out with comforting asides - it was to prove a specific issue existed.

      I get that you're feeling uncomfortable and defensive right now. I've been there, even! And those are feelings you have the right to work through. But from experience, I'm going to say that trying to work through them on public, in twitter, by 'but but but-ing' is a bad idea.

      I'd originally planned to reply to your thread in a document and then screenshot it, so everything would be all in one place, but I've started this here, so I may as well continue.

          It hasn't escaped me that you've tried to cheerlead for diverse books; I said as much in my blog. That you keep asking for your good works to be the focus of this discussion rather than what you admit is racism speaks to the same problem I was calling out in the first place.

          The problem isn't that you disliked specific books by POC; nobody is going to like everything! This is, indeed, how criticism works! It's that, subconsciously or otherwise, your publicly-stated *reasons* for disliking them form a pattern that seems not to apply to white authors.
