Белым писателям ужо запрещено создавать образы чернокожих в своих книгах
Правильным путем идете, товарищи
The controversy began when Hal Niedzviecki, editor of Write, the
magazine of the Canadian Writers’ Union, penned an editorial defending
the right of white authors to create characters from minority or
indigenous backgrounds. Within days, a social media backlash forced
him to resign. The Writers’ Union issued an apology for an article
that its Equity Task Force claimed “re-entrenches the deeply racist
assumptions” held about art.
Another editor, Jonathan Kay, of The Walrus magazine, was also
compelled to step down after tweeting his support for Mr. Niedzviecki.
Meanwhile, the broadcaster CBC moved Steve Ladurantaye, managing
editor of its flagship news program The National, to a different post,
similarly for an “unacceptable tweet” about the controversy.
Бонус - белым художникам запрещено рисовать чернокожих
Earlier this year, controversy erupted when New York’s Whitney Museum
picked for its Biennial Exhibition Dana Schutz’s painting of the
mutilated corpse of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African-American
murdered by two white men in Mississippi in 1955. Many objected to a
white painter like Ms. Schutz depicting such a traumatic moment in
black history. The British artist Hannah Black organized a petition to
have the work destroyed.
