Things that I loathe about this book:
- the normalization of white feminism
- the overt racism and Islamophobia
- the colonization fangirling
To @Mackenzi Lee and those who praised this book:
- Removing a person's ḥijāb without consent is a gross violation and should NEVER be normalized.
- Casually dropping the "N" word is NEVER okay. Also, get it through your daft head: the immediate assumption that black people are thieves and criminals is NOT okay. A half-hearted apology does not make up for this ridiculous shit. Stop using this as a trope.
- The idea that it is okay to plunder another nation for its resources is NOT okay. And sit your white feminist ass down with your holier-than-thou attitude that colonizers will use these looted resources to "heal" the world.
