Yellowface by Rebecca F Kuang
A white female writer steals her chinese american fellow writers manuscript and passes it off as her own, who dies in a freak accident. No this is not SWF single white female but more petty jealousies and literary tokenism. I wanted to know exactly what kind of whiteness the narrator was but the book didnt say. Was she actually English American or was she just your generic white person who went to Yale. Cue cultural appropriation.
In america theres different kinds right? Yanks, rednecks, descendants from the Mayflower, 'white trash' WASP...English, Irish, Scots or Welsh and any that came from the many many countries in Europe.
I dont know that anybody really refers to themselves as white when Asian people dont even say they are yellow and are more specific aboutwhat village/tribe they are from. We watch the simpsons or play with lego for ACTUAL yellow people.
I wanted the hungry ghost meme to take over after the narrator wrote herself into a corner.
