Proof Of White Disprivilege

[ocre]

“If someone is fraudulently pretending they’re someone else to benefit from a system that traditionally benefits them, that is not ethical,” she said. “I would have taken it out.”

Eve Ewing, a writer, teacher and editor studying race and education at Harvard, wrote a long series of tweets disputing Alexie’s point. Promoting people who are usually marginalized is not the same kind of “nepotism” that white writers benefit from, she said. And including a poem whose origins were racist, as Ewing put it, defeats Alexie’s stated goal of making the Best American collection more diverse.

What a bunch of BS. How many writers have published in alternate/pseudo names? These people are just made because it shines light on an ugly truth........on they cant handle


Has anyone read this poem? Is it posted online somewhere?
