i wish there were more stories with representation that didnt REVOLVE around that persons identity and nothing else. color blind books with great stories are very important.
Yes! I'm reading a great book that I'll have a review for in a few weeks that has some beautiful points of this in it. Have you seen the movie Love, Guaranteed? It is a cheesy Netflix rom-com (and I love it) but it stars Damon Wayans Jr and Rachael Leigh Cook and I kept waiting for that thing where someone's like... But, but, but... But instead it's just two people falling in love! It was so refreshing as someone who grew up with things like Save The Last Dance.
If a kid living in the suburbs of an American city can read a book about a medieval European knight fighting a mythical beast or being the captain of a space craft in a thousand years time deep into the cosmos and have the intelligence to be able to relate to the character then he can read a story about a girl.
I am a cisgender, heterosexual white woman; I am well and truly represented. If I only read about other cisgender, heterosexual white women, I would be bored.
@@brownlowbooks I find it interesting that diversity is something that only "cisgender heterosexual white women" seem predominately obsessed with while the actual diverse people you supposedly speak for are more interested in characters like goku from dragonball.
A moral lesson doesn't help you understand someone else's experiences, though. The Bible has moral lessons, but it also preaches a lot of garbage that isn't relevant or helpful. Sometimes what is more compelling to a child is a story whose focus isn't heavily on morals, but instead on character experience and growth.

This isn't controversial. It's more of the same. Representation for thee, 'diversity' for me.
I am a cisgender, heterosexual white woman; I am well and truly represented. If I only read about other cisgender, heterosexual white women, I would be bored.

@@sticks7857 I speak for no one but myself. People can be into whatever they want to be into.
Or instead of forced diversity show your kids compelling stories with a moral lesson.
So you think diverse books can't be compelling or moral?

Need to get the message out, we need more SJWs.
