I'm a Hapa, so I started using Indigenous and Latin American names, and I notice an increase in the positive reception of my applications and work. I was inspired by the pajeet that pretended to be a nigger to get into medical school, and the effect is real. Feels like I'm forced into an extreme form of code switching where I need to reject my name, history, and culture around leftist gatekeepers. Don't know what a white person can do, so maybe consider being trans. The more disgusting you are as a tranny, the bigger your social credit. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

I have a decent manuscript that I'm thinking of trying to get published, but I'm a white man in his early 30s and so I realize this may be easier said than done. I'm thinking of submitting the manuscript with a woman's name to see what happens. (I have experiencing in writing and editing non-fiction publications and am currently an administrative worker for one of my country's largest libraries, so I'm not completely alien to publishing and literature.)

Something similar happened a number of years ago. White guy won a poetry award while writing with an Asian pseudonym. The American Indian writer and chair of the award committee had a minor meltdown over it while attempting to talk himself out of the realization that he was essentially engaging in bigotry by thinking the ethnicity of the writer's name may have been a factor.)

Technically I'm in the process of doing it but it's harder than I thought. Also being completely disconnected is easier said than done.
Gathering and buying a huge list of paper books that I'm supposed to read until death is not that easy also. I don't have that much money.

You don't have to steal. Most important works are copyright-free. I understand wanting to get away from electronics, but accepting compromise is always necessary to get closer to your ideal life. It would still be better than not having the books at all. Mostly cutting yourself off from the internet while maintaining the necessary function would still be better than going ton it all the time.

These sound like a lot of excuses, I think you should ask yourself how sincere your desire is.

I mean if you think about it these people are institutions. When Rawlings blew up it was like there's a billion dollars on the line, I wouldn't be surprised if the publisher started hiring a team of ghost writers to keep the gravy train going.

Stephen King on the other hand has been selling crazy number of copies for decades on any of the bullshit he writes. I wouldn't doubt him having ghost writers either.
