One that stood out in particular was when "dreadlocks" were brought up in a stereotypical manner when there was no reason to bring them up at all. There are also concerns about the protagonist. I have seen members of the communities represented in these books have different opinions though. Some are saying that it is a stretch while others are very upset with the portrayal. While I am a person of color, my community is not the one represented so I am going to wait to hear what the general consensus is since this seems to be a recently emerging topic.(less)
