You have 30 seconds to name a top tier classic book written by a person who is not both white and male.
Hard mode: book has to be at least 100 years old.

Alexander Dumas was not white
I understand where you're coming from and I realize this is just a fun thread on a 'too smart for you' ironic image board but just because an entity (don't want to be presumptuous in saying person) is white-presenting or male-presenting, we should not assume he/she/it/e/ey/xe/xi/thon/hu/ve/hesh/shkle/ae/phe/herm/ham/hann/hesch/rim/ay/ayy/ze/per/na/en/te/co/(s/he)/vey/sie/zim/zam/α/ß/∞/wuz (and anything else I was too ignorant to mention to too filled with implicit biases to consider) IS white or IS male. Unless you have verifiable sources that explicitly demonstrate said author acknowledging whiteness or maleness with regard to his/her/their/xir/xer/cer/eyr/yr/hur/humm/zer/zir/qer/qed/ βer/etc. identity and with proof that they did not feel forced to make this identification by the epistemé or ideology of the given time and place, they always play a role (I know some people will be offended by my neutral gendering of time and space and I am reading more literature on this to validate and hope to understand this perspective), then I think you are doing a great disservice to how far we have come as a society.
>in my opinion
what the fuck does your opinion have to do with a person's ethnicity?
Well these two posts
had an opinion that the authors were not white and male. Similar to shaquill o neil o speare.

I'm just saying that's an argument some people may use. I don't, but the irish are generally seen as trailer trash which, y'know. It's not the same as racism against poc, but it's still there.
Holy shit. You're kidding me right? Ham/hamself.

Eh. No idea. I wasn't the one that suggested Oscar Wilde, though if I had, I'd probably would have mentioned the fact that he was openly gay, which y'know, was illegal. Still not what op asked for, but more important in terms of his "faults" than him being irish.

Everything you retard.
For example: someone is half subsah African and half caucasian. Do they count as ethnically subsah African? That's dependent on definitions and other such bullshit, and hence subjective.

they weren't what you mongs consider white nowadays.

Ohhh, big man with your big boy pants using the word cunt! Scary!
You guys don't realize when you say Egyptian, the Egyptian empire literally stretched all the way to the extreme south of the African continent for thousands of years, and spread across a broad lush plain. Egyptian is both supra-Saharan and sub-Saharan.
Likewise, Northern Africa and the Middle East have plenty of classics and contributions, a few of which I've listed already.
I know Asian classics because I am fluent in Japanese and have Japanese friends. Just because we here aren't well versed in the cultures of Sub-Saharan Africa doesn't mean they don't have literature, or oral histories comparable to Ireland's, Sumeria's, Egypt's, Palestine's, India's, Japan's, etc.,.
Ignorance is not evidence, kids.
Also, the Apocryphal Books of Enoch are Ethiopean and written in the Ethiopic language of Ge'ez.
There's one I do know.
wtf oscar was both white and male
So are 80% of books listed itt
>Egyptian empire literally stretched all the way to the extreme south of the African continent for thousands of years
This is completely wrong. At it's zenith the best you could argue is that it spanned into Upper Nubia, with perhaps some influence into (although certainly not control over) Punt during the New Kingdom.
Everyday it hurts.
