As a young white male who wants to be a writer, I feel well positioned to say that this is a terrible take. The fact that women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA folks are not being as wilfully ignored so that opportunity can fall at my the feet of people like me is a good thing, actually.
(a friend who is a literary agent told me that he cannot even get editors to read first novels by young white male writers, no matter how good; they are just not interested. this is heartbreaking for writers who may, in fact, be brilliant, & critical of their own "privilege.")
