(Anonymous) 2016-03-13 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)On one hand, the cultural appropriation discussion is often exaggerated (food, non-sacred clothing, non-religious tradions other cultures actually like to share etc), but this one kind of did rub me the wrong way? And the story itself wasn't even the worst (she could have corrected the biggest stuff simply by going a bit deeper, maybe using a few tribes as examples), but the stuff she said on twitter.
Like how skinwalkers were actually something no-majs (cringe) made up to make the Native population look bad.
Or when she said there was basically no racial tension between wizards etc. Like, I understand that you maybe want to keep stuff like that out of your fluffy children's book series... but she basically has a full house deliberately written as racists and a whole war around it in her books, too.
I have no idea how she could have answered the second one better tho, because it would be way too complicated for twitter...

(Anonymous) 2016-03-13 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)skinwalking seemed like a random example that she knew from genre fiction. I doubt she has done more research.
