The industry could use more Black illustrators and it's like a slap in the face to actual Black people who are trying to get their own books published. Black writers and illustrators are only chosen if they make historical or social books that are serious. They hardly ever get to make fun, positive, silly or animal books. And here you are making Black characters to add obligatory diversity. It just confuses me. It's like all the White people who study Afro-American history and get fellowships to Harvard while plenty of actual Black people can barely afford the fees to take the GRE.
