#ppl like that anon are annoying for a lot of reasons but mostly like#i am so tired of the 'all classics authors are old white men so i don't read classics' or 'most books are white so i don't read them'#like..........do y'all not get how buying and raising sales of authors of color will then result in more of their books being acquired#publishing is a numbers game it has nothing to do w how good a book is#if a book by an author of color sells really well publishing houses are more likely to acquire others#it's all about money and execs being too afraid to lose out on an investment#that's why often a lot of authors of color get lower deals bc publishers don't believe they can earn out their advances#if you buy their books you contribute to changing that narrative!!#i'm not expecting everyone to know all of this obv but it is really baffling to me that people admit to not supporting books they want#and then complain that there aren't more of them lmfao#please support authors of color#please explore and find their books (it really is not hard there are so many) and support them#instead of slapping white in front of 'authors' and thinking you've done something lol#we have come a long way there's no excuse now it's just you being lazy and burying your head in the sand#plenty of wonderful books by authors of color exist in every genre every topic you could dream of#if you choose not to see them that's on you
