I mean, sure, it might be the publishers' fault. OR, shocking thought here, your sex/gender/skin colour doesn't magically make you a better or worse author.

Nope, the big publishers really would only publish certain narratives. It’s gotten better but you’re still going to see straight white middle class America represented more than any other demographic from the big houses. Not even ten years ago Random House had a strict policy to automatically reject all works with gay characters, even minor characters. LGBTQ+ and POC were all relegated to niche publishers.

Sure but a) nobody says you can only buy novels by big publishers and b) the non-white non-male authors who do get published still aren't any better or worse than the others thatbget published.

Yep.
