The reason you sounded racist was because you said that we shouldn't expect books with a minority main character. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your message, but that's what it seemed like. Having a white, straight main character isn't wrong. What is wrong is having all of your characters white and straight (save for a few - but just because you have a few minorities in a series doesn't mean it is diverse). You aren't really listening to my message, which is that kotlc has a serious lack of diversity. I am a minority, and as a minority I am very upset about the amount of diversity in the series, and I'm sorry if you don't understand, but it is a very big issue. A non-diverse series is close-minded and not a good series.

Another thing I was a little confused/annoyed about. Why did SM have to make all elves attractive? I mean, the idea is kind of what a six year old would think of - making everyone a blue-eyed, pretty, skinny person. Is that SM's idea of perfect? Because beauty shouldn't be skin deep.
