You...are clearly missing the point. Let BIPOC write their own stories and let them have the same platform as non-BIPOC writers. Mentioning you're BIPOC is not asking for special treatment. It's alerting the agent what perspective they're writing from and what lived experiences could be incorporated in their work. Diversity in client lists, work settings, audiences, etc are important for so many reasons that I won't get into here because this comment section is meant for query updates and not for a debate like this.
This will be the last time I comment about this. Please educate yourself because the low number of published stories by BIPOC should bother you way more than an agent who is only seeking BIPOC queries.
Yes. I am. Stories that can be marketed get published, not because of skin color. Fixing discrimination with discrimination is like saying two wrongs make a right. Furthermore, why would you mention your race when you query unless you wanted special privilege? I have never mentioned my race and it doesn't matter unless you're specifically looking for it. And no one should look at a book and go, "wow, it's great, the writing is well done and it's totally marketable. I just wish the author were a different race." That's crazy. Let your work speak for you. My skin color is not a barrier unless I make it one.
