not a red flag. For example, dead white men are the only ones who have written any good westerns, for example

>he is absolutely against reading women
Kinda a red flag, some female writers are based

>he reads political books but only fascist ones
reading any political books is a red flag

if you think this is a red flag you're legitimately retarded

>he only reads dead white men
Classicist Bernard Knox made direct reference to this topic when he delivered his 1992 Jefferson Lecture (the U.S. federal government's highest honor for achievement in the humanities).[18] Knox used the intentionally "provocative" title "The Oldest Dead White European Males"[19] as the title of his lecture and his subsequent book of the same name, in both of which Knox defended the continuing relevance of classical culture to modern society.

He's being cancelled for some allegations, they haven't read him. DFW got me into litetature and while in retrospect he might not be as deep as I thought he was he is definitely skilled and very much worth a read at some point. A DFW phase is very acceptable in my opinion, just make sure you go through it.

You're the one who's out of touch. Reddit and twatter hate him because he's muh pretentious and muh dead white man. It's not the mid-2000s or early 2010s anymore.

The latin root of color is colos, which means "to cover."
Don't be so naive as to think language isn't purposely designed. The people in power know full well what they're doing with their little language games.
It's all apart of a game to conceal the humanity of minorities under a blanket of statistics and sociological research.
You see a lot of words being exchanged about people's empathy towards minorities, but do they really mean it? Why is everyone still so angry?
