Even though I don't like romance novels, I follow lots of people who do (that's how I found the tumblr post in the secret!) and the genre still being overwhelmingly white in modern times is actually one of the biggest issues even the fans talk about. So you're a right that much of what AYRT is talking about is outdated, but don't defend romance novels by pretending one of their biggest problems is one of their biggest assets.

But you’re talking to someone who’s admitted they read a lot of Contemporary romance novels, and you’re still trying to tell them you know as much or more than they do just because you follow people who read them? Even though you admit you don’t like them? I know that’s not literally what you’re saying, but I could have easily said you were definitively implying it with how much anons upthread are playing fast and loose with the word “implied”.

But you are at least asserting that you know enough by osmosis of the people you follow to know what the problems with the genre still are. Even though AYRT didn’t say there wasn’t still problems. They just countered someone using outdated stereotypes of romance novels to make broad generalizations.
