"...Yet today, a scholarship or grant for "underserved communities" or 
to "remediate intergenerational poverty" does not apply to the white 
child who suffers from abuse, whose parents are separated, who lives in 
the forgotten trailer parks of America, or who has fallen victim to the 
largely white epidemics of opioid and meth addiction. Where is the help 
for these despairing communities, or for the children who are born into 
them? Who is eager to tell their stories and to ensure that these 
children are "represented" in the popular culture and the moral

A new audiobook is being feverishly promoted by Amazon’s bottomless 
wallet, a familiar classic with an unexpected twist. It’s the iconic 
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, yet the artwork and accompanying 
promotional materials reveal that this young Oliver is black.

It’s the latest instance of a seemingly insatiable desire to replace 
white characters from classic tales with black figures. Even Anne Boleyn 
(of King Henry VIII fame) was not immune to diversification. In any 
event, something seems different about this attempt in particular. It’s 
not merely a snippet of culture that is being stolen and trampled for 
political reasons, when the reverse would never be permitted.

Oliver Twist was a fictionalized account of a true story—that of poor 
white kids, struggling to survive, with few real opportunities to better 
their condition. It presents a truth that some seek to bury. Modern 
academia, with the help of popular media, paints a picture in which poor 
white people did not and do not exist.
