A few months back, Jesse and Katie were discussing Kate Clanchy, a British author who was cancelled in 2021 and dropped by her publisher over protests that her book was racist and tone deaf for (amongst other things) describing black people as having dark skin, describing Afghan girls that were just learning English in her classroom as being placed in a foreign environment, etc. About six months ago, her former publisher apologized for their behavior in advance of a BBC podcast series on the whole affair.

She’s recently released a post describing how the whole situation went down. It’s both absolutely absurd and gross. Worth a read.
