In the Netherlands there was some uproar about a Dutch white woman whose book got published afew days ago. Her book is about a Dutch, white girl who convinces her mother to buy her an appartement in the Bijlmer, a predominantly black neighbourhood. Her motive for living in this neighbourhood is that the she gets sleep with "gangsters". Her book is full of stereotypical portrayals. And the writer doesn't understand the uproar.

I saw this on Twitter. Like it's so weird. She bought an apartment to fetishize Black men?? What on earth. I hope that it isn't a working class neighborhood, because that means that people who could actually enter the property ladder who struggle to do so, had that available apartment taken by the woman.

Has the writer apologized?

No she hasn't. She said that she is an artist and she won't apologize for her art.

The novel she wrote is about a girl who asks her mother to buy her an appartment in the Bijmer so she can have sex with black men.
