Let's look at this from another angle. When was the last time Straight White Males ruled in American Literature? I would argue, in the 30s and 40s, the age of Faulkner, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe, Chandler, Dos Passos. Not a Jew in the bunch. Then, in the 50s, there's an explosion of Jewish talent: Roth, Mailer, Bellow, Cozzens, etc--Updike is the one WASP outlier. After Jewish ascendance comes female domination and POC affirmative action. A paranoiac antisemite--not that we would ever see such a nasty type on 4chan--could argue that the need for Jewish writers/critics/publishers to prioritize Jews led to the slow and not-so-slow expulsion of straight white male Gentile writers. Since Jews couldn't fill up all the slots, places were set aside for other natural opponents of straight white males, ie feminists, gays, POC. What we have now is the consummation of that trend.
Plausible scenario?
