Problematic aspects in Six of Crows

So recently, an anon asked me if there was something problematic in SoC (and I accidentally deleted it, sorry anon!) so I thought I’d make a post pointing them out.

First of all,SoC is one of my all time favourite series; and this is by no means a personal attack at her or you.

1. Inej’s ethnicity

The Suli are a nomadic people who travel across the country as carnival performers and fortune tellers- pretty obviously hinting that Inej is Romani, right?

The Romani people originated from age indian subcontinent, yes, but Romani people have been in Europe since around the 14th century.

They are a distinct ethnic and cultural group. While some of their culture and languages might be reminiscent of Indian ones, they have evolved distinct ways of dress, beliefs, etc and do not consider themselves south Asian or Indian.

But the majority of the fandom seems to ignore that and considers her as South Asian. Heck, I even heard someone say Inej was ‘middle-eastern coded’.

For reference- Inej fanart by @phantomrin (aka how Leigh+ the fandom sees her) vs. Romani people in traditional clothing.

I know we need more rep in books, but this is erasure. The Romani, Middle Easterners and South Asians are NOT INTERREPLACEABLE.

Lemme just say that again,

ROMANI ≠ ARABIC ≠ SOUTH ASIAN

2. LGBT+ rep

yeah, listen first. I know Leigh is the Queen of diversity in YA, and I agree but WHY IS IT THAT WHEN WE SAY ‘LGBT REP’ ITS ALWAYS LGB. WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP IGNORING THE T.

In KoS we got i an influx of wlw pairings, and while that’s pretty amazing, I ain’t calling her ‘inclusive’ yet until we get a trans character. Seem harsh? Imagine if all the ‘LGBT inclusive’ media you consumed consisted of only straight trans people the cis LGBs would loose their minds.

3. This is kinda constructive criticism I guess

(As pointed out by @confusion-and-cake here)
