    DMZ/Haynes is on @jimchines's blog, defending her use of "coloreds" by saying she didn't want to use the term POC, as though "I thought the slur would be better understood by my readership than the actual term" is anything but a massive self-own.pic.twitter.com/AfWcaGlGjM

    Comment by Nalini reading: My review – now removed – used an unfortunate phrasing that people have criticised. I was trying to reduce what would otherwise have been a convoluted sentence (because I didn’t want to use the acronym PoC for my readership) into something people could follow. And the point of that section of the review discussed how Jemisin used albino-types as weird creatures and villains. That’s ableist. But people have told me repeatedly that I’m not allowed to complain when Black people are ableist so I guess you expect me to be silent. What do you want? What is the end goal of this pile on that is being orchestrated over social media, this website and other websites? Do you want me to never again review any book with a significant queer character or by a queer author so I never again run the risk of inciting the ire of your community? To never review a book with PoC or by a PoC author? To never interview either? To shut down Dark Matter Zine altogether?

        Also, like: the villains in Jemisin's work aren't albino! It's expressly a book where monsters use the real-world racism of white people to attack POC: the monstrous whiteness displayed is very clearly and contextually the whiteness of privilege. It has nothing to do w. albinism.

        I get not liking POC. It's not my favorite either. Which is why I use BIPOC. Still clunky, but more inclusive and a helluva lot better than "coloreds." What's next, mulattos? Octaroon? Blackamoor?

        It would've been perfectly comprehensible - and fitting, given the context! - to just talk about Black people, in the context of Jemisin being a Black author writing for a Black audience. But noooo.

        She literally said, "my readership wont recognize the correct term so I have to use a slur," WHO IS YOUR READERSHIP!? WHO ARE TOU THAT YOU APPEAL TO THEM? what even is self awareness, I mean?

        Who are all these people reading reviews of diverse fantasy and science fiction who can't handle a simple acronym?

        I've seen this too much. I've been rightly called out for things before, and it is uncomfortable. There's an instinct to push back, to be right, but if you know you're wrong, it's important to sit with it a while, not argue. They missed a learning moment for sure.
