Accusing Zhao of racism

[edit]

"In early 2019 McKinney was one of several writers who used Twitter to criticize the planned publication of Blood Heir by Amélie Wen Zhao due to its treatment of the book's African American characters."

This sentence is not well written. The character was not African American. The source highlights how the story is pulling from Chinese not Africans Americans and not all black people are instantly African Americans.

Additionally I think a section discussing how this claim is not as universally accepted as presented here. https://slate.com/culture/2019/01/blood-heir-ya-book-twitter-controversy.html I would point out that cites like even slate consider the claim of racial insensitivity dubious "we’re not entirely convinced." 100.36.253.183 (talk) 01:28, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
