I don't think so. Why shouldn't romances featuring predominantly black leads be mixed in with the rest of romance? I think they should. Readers that want to read them will find them without them needing to be hived off as suggested in

And nowadays, I think that is happening. I'm more familiar with sci-fi than romance and
Children of Blood and Bone is shelved in with the rest of SF&F. Easy Rawlins isn't relegated to some special interest subsection of mystery.

As long as we draw attention (positive or negative) to arbitrary groups of ethnicity, there will be injustice.

I agree. I think we're on the same page here.
