I find this comment rather sexist and racist.
I wonder what the comments would be if someone had someone had the criteria:-
- written by a man
- has a white protagonist
Personally it does not matter to me if the author is male or female as long as a book is well written. My favourite author list contains both males and females.
As for the protagonist, unless it is central to the story, why does the author even need to assign a skin colour to them? Our imaginations will fill in the details.
