It's people writing settings they know, I think. Maybe when the genre was established, only white people had the leisure and the infrastructure to get novels published. Nothing stopping anyone else from writing their own cosy mysteries nowadays.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, the genesis of the cozy mystery is absolutely British and upper middle class, and most of the classic Golden Age writers were racists or anti-semites to some extent (Chesterton, Sayers and Christie are prominent examples off the top of my head).

And while there's no particular reason that the genre has to hew to those attitudes, it's also quite easy to just uncritically adopt them if you don't think about it.

Most of the classic writers were products of their generations.
