I think most western audiences only want western authors. I remember being confused when some movie based off a book with a bunch of asians came out a few years ago and people were all surprised that asians can act; and the response I got from a friend was "oh, but those are movies from Hong Kong, this one is American".

not even. it's simply that american people and american media only allow a narrow, corporatised worldview and strictly middleclass american culture to be publicised. so they must manufacture their own PoC content that fits that.

If you want interesting LatAm lit read La Maravilla, it was pretty good and I had to read it in "Multicultural Literature class" (only took it to knock out two degree requirements with one stone- multicultural and literature). It's like a burgerpunk bildungsroman set in the 50s,

Beatty is awesome.
Yeah the new phrenology genuinely sucks. Ta nehisi coates interprets every sideways glance as a reconfirmation of racism. Afro pessimist faggot, I wonder what it's like to be married to that depressive fuck. He is married, right? Poor lady if so.
Anyway, white supremacists are a pretty diverse group. The only place you can get really indoctrinated and tatted and shit is prison, it's like everybody vs the black people in there so the aryan nation is a nice broad umbrella. American race and prison culture as it diffuses into the mass culture is much weirder than the academics would have you believe, and generally it's a bunch of fucking dorky fucks justifying their own gay jobs. Nobody likes them. They dont even like themselves. A ton of them are gonna end up killing themselves, mark my words.

You want me to tell you something funny? They also push away POC who don't like focusing on identity politics bullshit. For example, if the minority is writing something that doesn't revolving around victim complex or foreign identity, then it's going to be rejected too.
It's just social engineering for globalist purposes or whatever.

Other stuff isn't very safe. Have you seen how women, gays, and the non-majority ethnic/racial groups are treated outside the narrow window of contemporary Western culture? It would be counterproductive to recommend anyone from outside that narrow perspective.

Reminder that Machado de Assis was easily the greatest black author of all time.

Harold Bloom himself admitted this.

Also, Machado barely wrote about slavery. He had little time for such trifles. He mainly wrote about schopenhauerian issues under a tristram-shandeam perspective. This is why he doesn't feel dated or too localized: Machado is universal.

How did these people ever convince mass society that equality not only was possible but something they desired?

Leftist propaganda needs to be studied. It's frighteningly effective.

[Anonymous No.16744926]

Because they, meaning middle class white and black liberals who write and read this stuff, only view "POC" in relation to white people. Their achievements aren't culture or empire, they're only "resisting colonialism". Really, libs are more Eurocentric than the stuff they rail against.

>equality of oppurtunity
They don't want that anymore. Kamala Harris just recently posted a video that explained 'equity' or equality of outcomes on her Twitter.
So they do understand that some things are innate (would never admit it tho) and have moved on to the next stage.

[Anonymous No.16745094]

you are optimistically and foolishly assuming they aren't just racialists who know full well they don't give a fuck about equity for all races either and just want whitey gone lole

What do they think will happen when whitey is gone? Why don't they just go live in a country without white people since that's exactly what it will be like if white people disappear

[Anonymous No.16745119]

>>16745041
People saw equality as a deity; but when given increased/actual equality, they see there are still differences in outcome -- which can truly be explained by innate human differences; but, such an explanation isn't enough. So, they have to go a step further to address this difference in outcome -- and will eventually realize that, too, does not solve differences.
