Born in Libya, half Bangladeshi half English. She's basically white, her profile pic is from a book she wrote about a Libyan girl in the Roman Empire traveling all the way to Britain. Funnily enough all her previous books look like your run of the mill young girl and YA fiction, only just the last few years did she start with the "woke" books (she has another one about a black female NASA mathematician, presumably from around when Hidden Figures came out).
It pretty much has to be the covers of the books, right? Because all the things I read I don't recall that many books that specifically define all the characters as white. It's really not that useful of a trait as part of character development.
Any character who is respectable, kind, empathetic, and disciplined, in her mind, is White. Those aren't traits like her, yelling loudly to show power and yelling loudly to complain.
White people built their own cultures. Get over it. Build up your own crappy one and stop leeching off of ours. Sorry yours isn't as culturally rich, but that's what comes from being descended from a race that never came up with it's own written language. EDIT, guess she isn't Black, deceptive pic. Still, pathetic to hate on Whites for having their own thing and building up most of the fantasy genre.
I honestly don’t ever remember any book explicitly saying a characters race. I’m sure there are plenty, but my imagination of the characters race, if I even thought about it, was likely influenced by the country I was raised in based on the predominant race within it, not the book itself.
Maybe if she simply read books written by authors in her home country, or maybe wasn’t obsessed with white people all the time, her brain would be capable of imagining other races??
I don't know where is she from, but let's say Somalia. Why didn't she read all the imaginative fantasy books written (or published) in Somalia?

LOL, the pic made her seem Black.
Defund the Imagination Police
Stop right there racist. If we defund the imagination police, white people will be able to say nigger in their head.

"I can't write my own shit, I just want to copy traits from other writers."
You can tell that the "orcs are racist" argument is wrong because they can't decide which race they're supposedly based on.

Fuck black supremacists.
