The idea that you need to exclude authors on the basis of race/gender in order to diversify what you read is very obviously antithetical to inclusivity.

Not unless you're a publisher

Just make sure your book selection process accounts for the biases/overrepresentation, and then read whatever sounds interesting.

If you do that you're only going to read the mainstream because that's all you're going to see.

It's like telling people it's not inclusive to watch Hotel Rwanda and Brazil because MCU movies are much more prevalent and you'll have to go out of your way to see the others

Reminds me of Ravenous. Where the studio wanted a stoner comedy about cannibals but the female director made it into a horror/epic about masculinity and drug addiction, homosexual desires with several shots at Hollywood

And I'd bet $5 you've never heard of it let alone seen it but can name me several stoner comedies

And don't misquote me. I'm not saying things are good because they are different . Just that the logic of "Don't try to look for new things! that's not inclusive " will leave you only with generic mainstream pulp

it's a bad attitudes
