Yeah. Like there are so many white writers who have written excellently about different cultures and races and they barely get any pushback because *ding ding* their work is good and more fully developed!Maybe someone already posted it and I didn't see it but the NYT published a pretty good OpEd about the same subject: "Who Gets to Write What?"
Let's take a recent videogame for example.
Virginia, is written by white dudes. The two main characters are black women, and one plot thread is about people of colour in the FBI. There's a lot of nuance given to these characters and they don't fall into cultural/racial stereotype traps. No one has criticised the developers of Virginia for being white men writing black women.
Sometimes, it's just a matter of quality and not falling into stereotypes. Which this author seems to have done and is getting flack but is equating that to censorship instead of just freedom of speech (not freedom from criticism).
