Feminism and Diversity

I am perplexed about how Stockett or anyone who worked in the publishing industry couldn't have known how she would come across. I find it fascinating, with the process a book has to go through to be published, that not one person saw any issues with the issues y'all have spoken about and what, apparently, many others saw as well. It makes you wonder if it's more an issue of just not caring. I mean, how difficult is it to make sure you get Medgar Evers cause of death correct? It's right on his wikipedia page, many of the first few Google results talk about an assassin's bullet. Then to double-down on your claim that he was bludgeoned to death reeks of right-wing historical revisionism. I guess one could argue that the bullet did indeed bludgeon the man to death...

On a slightly different note, I've seen authors complain about how their publisher's categorize their books. My guess is that the publisher categorized the book as historical fiction and the author had no say in that.
