I must admit that when I posted the stories linked below, I was committing cultural appropriation. I'm not an Asian woman, Latin woman but a white dude. I am the former editor of the now forgotten and abandoned literary journal, White Liquor. This isn't really an apology unless writing under a pseudonym is a lie, or morally wrong. If it is, then I apologize. But was Mary Anne Evans committing a sin when she wrote as George Eliot? Maybe us white dudes face the same kind of problems as Mary did back in the day and writing as an Asian or maybe a Latin woman can be profitable.
