I stopped reading white male authors last year. Here's what I learned.

A funny thing happens when you spend the better part of a year reading and watching stories by people other than white, Western men — you start to notice who is in charge.

Last April, my frustration with the homogeneity of easily accessible art made me swear off reading or watching anything by white men until 2016. Instead, I chose to spend the year immersing myself in stories by anyone but white, Western directors and authors (you can read the rules I had to follow here and see the list of books I read here).

Uh huh. What you learned was that you’re a bigot, dear. Nothing more.

I’ve never chosen to read a book based on the author’s skin color. What weirdos.
