I find that what you’ve written has inspired many white writers and others of course to reflect and pretty much write like you. And not just on Medium. That’s good.

Your name, which indicates a brown Muslim, which you might not be, works against you. But you know that already, right? Mainstream publications don’t like you. But it doesn’t stop them from picking up your ideas. Ive read doppelgänger articles in them and done a double take. You don’t even get a mention. That’s blatant prejudice.
