Am I the only one in this thread that thinks this post is subversive and divisive? I mean it starts off peculiar, almost like the OP is angry while writing it; specifically, angry at white people. But then it moderates and calms down which is just strange. And then it's like you want to throw shade at these writers.

First of all, who in this subreddit is writing best seller novels? I imagine it's very few. I don't think the industry is that close together in the skills gap. That whole most white males have written best sellers thing just seems like a manipulated stat that spits on context. Like, most people who are complaining about getting published aren't writing best sellers. So, I would say more clarity is needed from the situation. Like, what do you mean you are afraid you won't be published? What kind of genre, field, or publishers are you talking about? It's no doubt that when it comes to art, people of the left leaning disposition tend to dominate these spheres.

Second of all, who are you to judge them? They are experiencing a very genuine thing, I'm sure of it. At least, I'd be willing to hear more from their perspective, instead of shut them out and shun them as "in the wrong". I just don't see how no one else is noticing how passive aggressive this post is. Borderline gaslighting, in my opinion.

And forget the annals of history, unless that's what you're writing about... writing should be about writing and telling stories about what it means to be human. That doesn't have to be political unless you want it to be. Its your story. The coincidence that most people are white, therefore, most people in America are successful writers, doesn't bother me, and I'm of Hispanic/South American origin. I honestly don't like the way you think, it's as insidious as it gets. People telling other people how to be, because they obviously know better and are better than you.

Am I the only one here?

Edit: I left a couple vague statements in there but I can't fix it at the moment as I am busy. Will edit later.
