Yeah, I don't necessarily AGREE with the secret now but it at least makes sense to me.

(And seriously, if that was actually Gaiman's answer quoted in the screengrab, it just seems like a condescending British way of saying "You're interrogating the text from the wrong perspective." You can't write a book making every effort to be 'ambiguous' and then retroactively insists that the textually specified 'right' ethnicity is so important that anyone who disagrees read the book improperly.)

Gaiman simply suggests the person read more closely for things they might've missed, which is fair enough since the person directly addresses the issue of the text. I don't see that as condescending.

This is all just reminding me of how far I was into Coraline before I realized that the Other Mother literally had buttons for eyes, and I don't think that ambiguity was intended.

Yeah. Lots of things are "ambiguous" if you miss important details.
