Mhm. James Patterson, you are racist. I said it. Let's take a look, shall we?
1. Two black characters. Two. That's it.
2. One of the aforementioned characters is named "Ratchet." Unless you've been living under a rock, you know what this means.
3. Main character, who is apparently Latina, looks completely white. Blonde hair no brown eyes. Um, no.
4. Ella apparently means "they" in Spanish (I only know German, English and sign language). Is this a hint that Ella is genderqueer/uses they/them pronouns? Regardless, what the fuck?! Why would a woman who is described as having a Spanish accent and knows Spanish NAME HER KID A PRONOUN?!
5. Okay, this is sexist, but let's count it. After Max's parents conceive her, her mother leaves and become stereotypical mom and Jeb does all the work. The hell?!
6. Mom makes tacos all of the time. Um, no.
7. I've read your other books, JAMES. And basically all of your characters are white. No main people of color characters. Ugh!
8. In Daniel X, you have an evil alien portrayed as "looking Jamaican, with dark skin and long dreads." I CAN'T EVEN-
9. All of the scientists were white. How do I know this? BECAUSE YOU SAID WHENEVER SOMEONE WAS A RACE OTHER THEN WHITE. IT WASNT, OH "FANG WAS CAUCASIAN WITH LONG BLACK HAIR, AND NUDGE WAS AFRICAN AMERICAN" it was "Fang had long black hair. Nudge was African American with black hair." LIKE NO, YOU SPECIFY ALL RACES, YOU RACIST FUCKER.
10. Okay, it's really really rare (do I dare say "never happening?) that a Caucasian has natural black hair. So...?! I doubt Fang is white.
11. Max's other half just so happens to be white.
And while we're at it, here's something wrong with the series: why wasn't anyone in the flock named? Why did they all name themselves? "Get over here, you!" The scientist said. Yeah, no, I doubt that would have happened. They would have been given names.
So we've figured out that you are sexist, rainbowphobic and racist, JAMES "SCREW YOU" PATTERSON. FUCK. YOU.
Tbc,
Fire*
