Below is a link to a New York Times opinion piece by a white author who dared to write a novel from the perspective of people of color and was pilloried for it ("how dare he!"). He says that while the Right used to be the wing of enforced conformity, it's the Left that now uses "weaponized sensitivity to insensitively stamp out all who disagree" (I'm paraphrasing). As someone who has been on the wrong side of the PC Police a couple of times I could relate to this. I also like to read good literary fiction by authors that I don't think should be hobbled by "you can't write that because you are the wrong race/gender" rules. This is one aspect of a larger and worrisome trend. What do you think?
