From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "Until recently, black adults were largely ignored by some book publishers who believed black people don't read books."

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. "I'm not racist, but - " Like seriously. Are. You. KIDDING me with this shit. This isn't the first dumbass standalone racist sentence I've read in the P-G. Or anywhere, but Pittsburgh has a huge Afro-American population. I'm assuming they've got more than a few writers of colour on board; I've seen photographs and names that I recognize to be of Middle Eastern male descent, and yes, I know about male and female names from that part of the world, and no, it's not because I went to school with a lot of brown folks.
