"I think that more broadly, the system is not set up to elicit sympathy for the people who are not winning out of the system. I talk about fiction in the book and fictional representation. It’s one of the most effective vehicles for empathy that we’ve got in the modern world. As somebody who’s always been a fiction lover, I learned very quickly to empathize with white stories, because they were everywhere, and white people were at the centre of every narrative I read. But I think very few white people have learned to empathize with non-white stories. And that’s evidenced in the extreme backlash each time that a casting director or a novelist or someone like that attempts to 'Blackify' a beloved white character. People start saying it’s political correctness or it's multiculturalism. And it’s like I do believe that there’s lots of elements of the human experience that all of us can relate to, but they have thus far been communicated through white eyes."
