AYRT—this was at least a decade ago, so I don’t remember all the details. I think maybe it was on her fansite forum/messageboard and some of the responses were posted elsewhere? I’m so white I practically glow in the dark and I remember thinking “holy fuck you’re a writer, how can you not understand how horrifying that belief is or what defending it says about you?”

It was kind of a “racism doesn’t have to involve slurs to be really fucking awful” wake up call for me. I’d love for some of her books to be adapted with some of the main characters played by black actors, but since none has ever been adapted unless you count Disney’s BatB ripping off Beauty, I’m not holding out hope.

Sadly, the politics of the last couple decades has shown me that LOTS of privileged white racists don't think they're racist because hey, they wouldn't, like, lynch brown people. So everything up to that is a-okay!
