NAYRT - Maybe they're assuming what they read in English class = all literature ever written?

If that's what they think that says more about them than it does about the state of minority fiction (obvisoy it's far from great but it's not like it's completely impossible to find minority rights especially in the age of Google and the Internet)

I mean call me snooty but I feel like reading and buying original fiction and non-fiction created from the ground up by minority writers to explicitly explore minority issues is much better way to support diversity and expand one's views and understanding than reading fiction created with existing characters and plot lines shoehorned into stories in ways that aren't always workable. Or something like that I'm having a hard time articulating why I have such a problem with the idea.

Obviously there's room for reading both, and I don't want to deny that reading and writing fanfiction is a great way for people to explore minority issues, in particular their own sense of self with regard to race, gender, sexuality, disability etc. But uniformly dismissing literature like that displays imho a really disquieting ignorance of the incredibly important legacy and work of minority writers throughout the ages - writers who are already given the shaft by more mainstream audiences and academics.
