Scenario: you are banished to a deserted island with a little cabin.
A genie gives you the option of either having:
A: one single work of a white male author (hence no Bible or 'collected Shakespeare/Plato', say)
Or
B: a library of the best literature and philosophy produced by women and nonwhites
Which do you choose? And if A, specify which work.
And mods, please don't be party poopers and ban me, this is not meant as a shitposting bait thread, I'm just genuinely curious, and I encourage all frogpeople, SJWs, and Lord KEK worshipping /pol/ Nazis to keep this civil and on topic or I'll delete the thread myself
Thanks

Nonwhites/women
I can get by with South American and Asian lit if those count
>>8516867
And you'll be there for the rest of your life btw. And there's food and all basic necessities available

What's the best Latin lit? Are they translated well?
>>8516889
Borges, bolano, marquez, and cortazar are on the top 100 chart iirc, but there are tons of other good ones

Cheers, m'lad
Give me the Art of War.
I will eventually get out of this cabin then.
Only a raving lunatic would choose a single work over a full library, in that situation. So I'm surprised they haven't chimed in yet. Must be busy shitposting about women in the other frog threads.

Still, it'd be pretty fucking scary to know you could never read a white guy's book ever again. That every book in your giant library would be nothing but vagina shit and whining. I'd be worried that by 10 years in, I'd just be a gigantic hairy pussy wandering around the island eating fried fish off a spear through my pussy hole and bleeding on all the trees.

thank god russians aren't technically white. plus i could read some latin junk. plus those greasy italians aint white either. and most americans are mudbloods of one sort or another, so not purely white. basically all i'd be missing out on are the brits, nords, and the africans. greeks weren't white either. greasy bastards. all around white would have to be pretty well defined before i make my choice.
What kind of shitty lolrandom dichotomy is this, and what possessed you to think this would be a good idea for a thread?
And to be clear: I'm not accusing you of trolling, I'm accusing you of being an idiot.
I've got enough excellent Latin American writers to last me a lifetime

I didn't want triggered people here, as I stated in the OP.
Answer the question or fuck off wit your hurt feelings
great job finding an unmoderated board

Not without the white male translators
>>8516867
this is just pathetic
all of constance garnett's translations don't count then, plus some edith grossman, so all would not be lost.
you actually have to think that non-white male works are worth nothing in order to not take the library. pretty stupid desu
