ARE WE LIVING IN A WORLD WITHOUT STEROYOTYPING AND DISCRIMINATION

 Since the publishing date of my fantasy romance book ( Waiting eyes on the road ), I have been facing a large amount of protesting regarding my characters' bodies and looks. It is as if my book is making everyone focus solely on appearance when discussing relationships.

On one hand, the public's internal and external preoccupation with my main character's look and body is frustrating. On the other, it is great news to know my book has been read, reviewed, and even criticized.

I used to wonder why good-looking celebrities face a tremendous amount of pressure, and why paparazzi follow them everywhere, preventing them from having a normal personal life, or at least some degree of one. However, after my book was published and I personally faced objections, critics, and was targeted as the author with all types of accusations and critiques, I realized that we are operating with a wrong definition of discrimination and racism.

For some reason, the public has been misled to believe that if someone has good looks, is rich, or even has a bit of savings, it is completely acceptable to bully, harass, and abuse them, and this is not considered discrimination. Conversely, if someone does not have the gift of good looks, or for any reason is not making money or saving, they are considered free—in the eyes of the law, authorities, and the public—to object to any discrimination, regardless of what they may be doing to another group.

The worst part is that this abuse and discrimination are publicly advertised worldwide. Those who are announcing and encouraging the public toward these types of harassment, racism, and discrimination are very proud of their actions, believing they speak for everyone. In reality, many individuals were born with good looks or a good race, and it is not and won't be acceptable to be discriminated against just because some people in power do not possess this gift.
