I don't even know what gender my authors are.
I don't want to say something as obnoxious as "I don't see color" or some shit, but goddamn, books are really THE medium were gender and ethnicity don't matter. The quality of the work is literally in your hand to see. You could print a book without author or title and it wouldn't change my enjoyment (or lack thereof) of the book at all.

>>9710031

i probably have far better taste in female writers than that stupid middlebrow bitch in OPs pic but this post is total reductionist horseshit.

>I don't even know what gender my authors are.

>>9710243

so you recommend that men wade through female writers that you yourself don't even consider good just so they don't come across like a "colossal dick" to dumb pleb women who like them? kindly stop this nu-male retardation.

>>9710271
"Reading some" being a reference to feminist/ female writing. Doesn't have to be Zadie Smith.

Although I will say that a mediocre Zadie Smith novel is more relevant to modern life than something like Moby Dick is, as great as Melville is. Just saying it's important to have a rounded reading history. Not sure why this triggers you so much.

>>9710282

>"Reading some" being a reference to feminist/ female writing. Doesn't have to be Zadie Smith.

lmao enough of this you fucking flaky nu-male faggot. you time waste by recommending writers whose work you don't even consider good because you don't want to seem le insensitive.

i don't even have any blanket ire for feminist works, that isn't what i'm annoyed at. i'm annoyed at anon like you who feel the need to prop up shit that you barely even rate in the name of good boy diversity points. just put forward work that you personally stand by.

I actually think White Teeth was a pretty decent novel. The structure was off, and it petered out into a bad ending, but considering she wrote it at 25 I'd say it's a damn sight better than anything that this board has ever produced.

She accurately captures the London diaspora across three generations and created some very realistic characters. Provided an insight into a community that, as a white guy, I've only encountered from the outside.

>>9710363

I skimmed some of this specimen's new memoir, Hunger, at the library. She basically blames her monstrous size on having been raped as a teen, then complains for a while about how difficult it is to be fat in the world (you know, the stigma, having only reasonably sized chairs and airplane seats, getting lectured by her doctors about her size). She dismisses exercise and the fit person's "gaze." She admits that diet and exercise are the only way to go, but refuses to do so because...it would make her sadder? Than being massively overweight?

Non sequitur. Just because a country may not endorse global integration, it does not make my position any less just.
Rape is never justified, you can't use that as an argument against immigrants just to further your agenda, a crime is a crime is a crime, which is dealt with by the law enforcement system that all Western countries have. Pinning the ultimate blame on immigrants as a whole is the mark of an intellectual coward and a bore, who refuses to look in the mirror.

>>9710026 (OP)
I don't care about what gender or race an author is, save in its relevance to the discussion they shall embark upon. Otherwise, I care only for topics of discussion and an author's ability to converse.

If you refuse to read an author based on their race or gender, you are a pseud. It should be the topic of discussion and what they have to say which leads your interest.

Encouraging people to "Read less straight white men," is basically a campaign to revel in ignorance, for, even the translations of foreign geniuses into English will most likely have been done by a straight white man.

Honestly, what does sexual preference have to do with intellect anyway? This is one prominent reason I consider most homosexuals, trans, and non-binaries shallow. For most of them, sex is always at the center of affairs - a true perversion of intellect.

Likewise, for anyone who lives in Europe or North America, you're essential arguing for a disconnect from one's own cultural, linguistic, and scholastic heritage - an absolutely ludicrous and barbaric notion. One which tells me you lack understanding in what brings cultural cohesion to a people. Rather, you should be encouraging immigrants and minorities dwelling in historically Anglo regions to read more straight, white men.

I consider cultural studies, especially literary ones, to be of immense value to all involved, however, the onus is on the immigrant to appropriate the culture of the native and not the reverse. Otherwise, the migrant is no migrant but an invader who should be sent soundly packing.

In any case, the last WoC I've read is Tracy K. Smith, the current Poet Laureate of the United States of America, I believe (that she is the last WoC I read, that is). I like her, as a person. I am unsure, however, how I feel about her poetry. I'd like to spend more time ruminating on it.

I was gearing up to call you a pretentious faggot since it seemed obvious you were from the beginning of your post, but the following talked me out of doing so:

>Otherwise, the migrant is no migrant but an invader who should be sent soundly packing

Reasonable on the surface. The thing is, though, very, very few non-Europeans will ever care about European art/literature, and those who act like they care will only really be doing so because they are cunning enough to realize that they will receive benefits from whites for playing that game.

And why should they be expected to care? Why would we want them to care? It's absurd. This is not their culture, and we shouldn't be culling their ranks and bringing people in so that they will appreciate what we have accomplished.

Not that that happens anyway ... instead we bring them in to a system that teaches them to hate whites and view us as evil, while the jewish media exacerbates this further; and now we're seeing our once-high-brow culture being destroyed by jewish degeneracy because we gave it up and are now no longer in charge of it.

No. It's not going to work, and it was never supposed to work. Non-whites, and jews especially, need to be removed from white societies before whites blend into the mud hordes. And we need to take back our culture and reestablish the notion that it's ours alone and that no one else should ever be expected to care -- because they won't.

>>9717402
Your attitude is not reasonable at any depth.

First of all, it is a jaded perspective. You operate with a mindset like a game theorist. You should watch Adam Curtis' documentary, "The Trap."

Nervous pseuds like you are legitimately enraging. I wish I could teabag every single weak-minded white boy pseud like you - at least then you'd know what it is to have some fuckin balls.

Am i the only one that feels like black women are being made to be looked at as clowns with this whole agenda?

One of us is, indeed, pretending.

Surely, I know more immigrants than you ever will, and have taken the time to know them and speak their languages.

>these people hate you, etc.
I told you, I am not speaking on the current refugee crisis in Europe. I'm looking at a much larger and much more permanent phenomenon while you run around wailing at the top of your lungs about the kind of issues which only entertain a generation.

>esp Jews
I speak and read Hebrew. I've studied their history and the linguistic relationships of Hebrew to the other Semitic languages. I've studied these cultures. I've read the Tanakh, the Talmud, the Zohar, and the Quran as well. I know many Jews. I have friends who have studied in Israel. This is only one of the five languages I speak. I am the one, of the two of us, who knows about Jews. The "Jews" you "know" about are a mythological entity dreamed up by man-children, and those who wish to control man-children, to explain away every ill in the world. They are the equivalent of boogeymen, and no intelligent man puts any stock in the ideologies they pervade.

>>9717475
You really don't have a clue what I've studied, nor will you ever understand what I do about economics because your attitude toward these matters is plebeian, and plebs don't ever learn the first thing about real scholarship.

>It's only ever YouTube level fare at play

Does he mean that the "4000 pages" of HP with big font, triple spacing, etc., is actually much less in terms of more meaningful measures of the amount of content (character count, word count) than the 4000 pages of classic literature?

>wailing at the top of your lungs
How can you even pretend to accuse anyone else of that after your period-gushing tirade? Do you have any self-awareness?

>writes long-winded posts about himself
>emotionally flips out while accusing others of emotionally flipping out

This is why you were labeled a pretentious faggot out the gate -- look at how you go out of your way to feign erudition. You are a weak and unlearned man. It's no wonder you have no clue what's going on in the world around you.

Dumas pere was black. He lived long enough for there to be photographs of him, even if you don't trust his contemporaries' accounts. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, but there's no way he'd pass as white.

I just read her poetry on Poetry Foundation. Are there better poems than the four she has listed there? They are bad.

Can anyone enlighten me as to the meaning of her poem Vulnerability Study? The symbolism makes no sense to me at all.

That's cheating because most good authors of either gender are dead as door nails.

Plenty of mangaka are women. I can't name anybody because I don't actually read.

I've found that nothing lowers my regard for the female sex more than reading their work.

The greatest achievements of female literature are Harry Potter, Twilight, and the Hunger Games. Just let that sink in for a moment

Borges was white. So was Cortázar, and García Márquez, and Rubén Darío. Actually, every good Latin American author had a negligible to nonexistent amount of non-white blood. Hmmm really makes me think

Gotta love how a thread posing a simple question "triggers" every defensive kissless mouthbreather on this forum. Nothing wrong with reading WOC writers as well as dead white men.

>and means you can talk to women without coming across like a colossal dick
I agreed with you up until here. I am a hardcore feminist but I never discuss it with new women (especially when I am trying to fuck). To me there's something really vulgar about using a genuine intellectual interest I have in something like feminism to score brownie points with a girl. If this is your motive than you are reading woman writers for the wrong reasons imo. Honestly just acting funny / douchey is 100x more effective. I will only really talk about that kind of stuff with close friends (men and women) who are literate enough on the topic to have a good conversation.

It doesn't matter who you read. If all you read were "dead white men" you could still read literally thousand of good books. There's nothing blameworthy or praiseworthy about reading authors from a particular ethnic group.

>>9724573
There's literally nothing sentimental about actual feminist theory and you would be aware of this if you had ever bothered to read a single paragraph of it.
