>>6087545
probably he's right

>>6087536
it was have slightly different themes? What is your point?

What happens when there is no whites anymore? sounds horrible that your 'heritage" is gone right? But wait, there won't be anyone left to mope about it because they will belong to a different culture. No one looses anything.

I move to Iceland or Norway. That's what.

America will continue to not read.

and you will probably get shot

>>6087620
This would be a coherent arguement for erasing non-white cultures, tho. Or even for actively removing all cultures but ones own.

Holy shit quit your bitching, /pol.

>>6087811
4u?

>>6087811
the point is that they will all merge eventually so why bother. The aspects of the culture that people want to keep will live on in the new culture. Everyone will have claim to western culture if thats what you are worried about.

Whites are already not the majority of first graders. In 13 years they will not be the majority of students.

In all seriousness though, Junot Diaz blows. He's in the same camp as Yann Martel, Khaled Hosseini, and John Green - writing straightforward, easily digestible (middle school reading level) stuff. They're YA storytellers, which is fine, we need these people, but they're getting waay more acclaim than they deserve.

The best novel of the 21st century is Oscar Wao?

>>6088237
lol. good writing isn't convoluted undigested muh allusions crap, plebo

>>6088237

>no europe central

>>6088237
Yeah I read one of his books on a recommendation of Sunhawk (God forgive me, I was new) and it was honestly terrible.

>>6088304
Fuck Europe

>>6088304
This is BBC. This is europe. And only the blandest, most color-by-numbers minorities are being absorbed

>>6088271
Not saying that's true. The stories are also pretty flat. If they were films they'd be on Lifetime (basic, sentimental)

>>6088305
You should have listened to my warnings.

>lol! toasting in another epic sunhock bread! archive quick!

We revel in magical realism.

Literature gets a new renaissance as social conditions returns to that of the 19th century with a small capitalist elite (white and Asian people) whose children can live the bohemian lifestyle living of their families wealth while supported by a gigantic underclass of cheap workforce (everyone else) living on mere subsistence.

By that time we will have dispensed with the obsessional neurosis of monogamy and the nuclear family too.

So people will stop writing about affairs and how they literally lost a piece of their immortal soul because they got cucked.

i'm not a cuck by the way, I'm a wizard. The degree to which people obsess over cucking and the heroic revolutionary celebate lifestyle of Ho Chi Minh has made me reconsider the benefits of becoming sexually active, in regard to my circumstances and values.

>11th place is White Teeth

http://www.newrepublic.com/article/61361/human-all-too-inhuman

>These novelists proceed like street-planners of old in South London: they can never name a street Ruskin Street without linking a whole block, and filling it with Carlyle Street, and Turner Street, and Morris Street, and so on. Near the end of White Teeth, one of the characters, Irie Jones, has sex with one of the twins, called Millat; but then rushes round to see the other twin, called Magid, to have sex with him only moments after. She becomes pregnant; and she will never know which twin impregnated her. But it is really Smith's hot plot which has had its way with her.

Zadie Smith is fucking GOAT

fucking this.

race bait is guaranteed replies on lit for some reason just like any questions about atheism, and hitler.

Haven't really heard many people disagreeing with >>6087571. What people are saying now is that there is a "representation" fad lifting up authors who don't deserve the degree of attention they're getting. There are tons of interesting, valuable PoC authors, they just aren't Diaz

>>6088795
>PoC
>Pickers of Cotton

PoC is the most retarded "racial" designation ever created. It is even worse than "white".

>>6088939
It basically means "non-white," just dressed up to seem more positive-oriented. It's a term that really only works in America
