“Speaking of my own intentions, I’m not attempting representation of characters who help display the actual diversity of the world so that people will be nice to me. I’m not including discussions of -isms because I expect my readers to respond, “Oh, she has successfully ticked off the -ism list and is therefore shielded from all criticism upon those grounds!”
Because one, lolno, and two, that isn’t the point. If you’re writing diversity because your intent is to be awarded cookies or brownie points or whatever the hell people imagine they’ll be collecting, ur doin it rong. If you’re writing diversity because your intent is to do what you think is the right thing, but you also expect you’ll get to munch on delicious praise cookies and never ever have to deal with people pointing out that you’ve made some offensive mistakes along the way, ur ALSO doin it rong.
The intent behind my writing diversity isn’t that I want credit for trying to be a good person. It’s that I am trying to be a good person.”
