HellaBooks
HellaBooks asked Roxane Gay:

In the romance genre, what are your thoughts on white authors writing main characters that are POC? There is a serious lack of diversity in romantic main characters, but a lot of times white authors don't quite get it right (so much tone deafness and/or stereotyping).

Nick Testa asked Roxane Gay:

Why is your last name gay?

Carol
Carol asked Roxane Gay:

Hi, Roxane. I've recently finished a novel, my first, about a white woman in the 1990's righting a wrong she committed while teaching at a black college in the south in the 80's. One of my black male characters is an attorney. I loved Bad Feminist, and was surprised to read that you see black attorney characters as stereotypical. Can you elaborate? Thank you, Carol Morrison
