I thought that many people are "let down" by this "one-race" format. Not only the race, but sometimes the way the story is written is not interesting to people. The plot, and the problem of many of these stories are also very cliche, and they not not find their way into the interests of many of the people that actually read those books.]]> 2021-09-07 18:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bhill124/9o8w1wkurb8cnwrb/wish/1722698316 https://padlet.com/bhill124/9o8w1wkurb8cnwrb/wish/1722698386 I feel that more stories should talk about those who are mixed, or biracial. I typically don't see many stories that include that, and it would be nice to see more.
