This was a mistake. I intended to reference two literary awards that do not track sales, and end with the NYT bestsellers to cap it off but decided to erase the latter part for concision (I ended up erasing the first).
For example, two out of 13 booker shortlist winners for 2024 were white males. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_winners_and_nominated_authors_of_the_Booker_Prize
2023 is an outlier with 5 out of 13 being white males, then 2022 has 2 out of 13 or 3 out of 13 considering the ambiguously white. 2021 continues this trend with 3 out of 13 (nathan harris has no page but here is his picture on social media). So yes, strict underrepresentation.

Also wrong. Prior to the changes in policy, there were still both older and young white males publishing. The change in 2021 caused the immediate drop. If it was a changing demographic, we would have seen some difference. The trends on Booker go further.
