To see it for what it is, with wide open, wondering eyes. Our mass media is so horribly skewed. It presents this idea of 'normalcy' which excludes and marginalises so many for an idea of commercial viability which is really nothing but blinkered prejudice. People who are black and Asian and Middle Eastern and Hispanic, people who are gay or transgendered or genderqueer, people who have disabilities, disfigurements or illnesses - all have this vision of a world which does not include them shoved down their throats almost 24-7, and they're told 'No one wants to see stories about people like you. Films and TV shows about people like you won't make money. Stories about straight, white, cisgendered, able-bodied people are universal and everyone likes them. You are small and useless and unattractive and you don't matter.' My worry is that this warped version of 'normal' eventually forms those very same blinkers on children's eyes, depriving them of their ability to see anyone who isn't the same as them, preventing them from developing the ability to empathise with and appreciate and take joy in the lives and experiences of people who are different from them. If Shadows on the Moon - or anything I write - causes a young person to look at their own life, or the life of another, and think, 'Maybe being different is cool' I will die a happy writer. -Guest blog - what diversity means to me”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Zoë Marriott" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/zo-marriott/aside-from-wanting-to-write-cracking-good-books-that-turn-children/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/606/zo-marriott-24092_books_aside-from-wanting-to-write-cracking-goo_2892313.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/606/zo-marriott-24092_books_aside-from-wanting-to-write-cracking-goo_2892313.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/606/zo-marriott-24092_books_aside-from-wanting-to-write-cracking-goo_2892313.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Aside from wanting to write cracking good books that turn children into lifelong readers, I really want to…” — Zoë Marriott", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/prejudice-people/zo-marriott/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/prejudice-people/zo-marriott/", "name": "Prejudice People Quotes by Zoë Marriott", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/prejudice-people/zo-marriott/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/606/zo-marriott-24092_books_aside-from-wanting-to-write-cracking-goo_2892313.jpg" }, "description": "1 Prejudice People quotes by Zoë Marriott.
