It seems like many people in this industry have a difficult time dealing with the fact that while their personal beliefs are inclusive, their actions support the prejudice in the system. I guess it is easier to pretend and thus ignore both the experiences of many writers and the things that the tiny number of these books indicate. People seem to want everyone to just shut up so that everything will magically become what they are pretending it to be and we won't have to talk about how this isn't so.
On that note, there are so many books I need to buy or at least recommend to my brother's children. Things need to change.
