@JAWLACA If you fail to understand their reasons for why their prioritizing these voices, then you're choosing to be ignorant about it. Just don't query them if you don't believe in their values and go somewhere else.

"For all the books I work with, I prefer to work with queer creators and Black, Indigenous, creators of color, and strongly encourage those creators to send me their work."

And I prefer to work with people who don't blithely signal their fashionable bigotry.
