I vaguely wondered if Pierce was wholesale dropping in another culture as she'd already done with Japan, but mostly I was focused on the emotional dynamics.)
In the Trickster books where 16 yr old white girl fixes the revolution the poor brown people were fcking up, Pierce explicity says the cultures she's basing things on.
It's so *headdesk* because I like Pierce's books a lot, I like that she is trying to leave the all white universe it's just...argh. She seems to have these blinders about racism and it is maddening.
