Well, that argument would make more sense than what I read as a lot of complaining about not liking certain main characters because minor characters get less attention in the narrative-- hence, being minor characters.
See, I understand the impulse to reach out to "offending" authors when they write things that are blatantly racist/offensive because there's good intention there and the faith that if only the author could be informed of why they're actually part of the problem they could see the error of their ways and reform. I do. But the internet has caused too much erosion of the boundary between fan and participant, resulting in that pesky entitlement, and the original good intention is lost.
