This little h0e!
The story is reportedly about an African warrior who was kidnapped from her native land and forced into a community of Vikings. In the excerpt, Smith and Hendel's description of the real-life Amazigh people did not bode over well with many readers.
The excerpt states: “The Amazigh are dangerous on their best day. They have little regard for anyone who doesn’t worship the Muslim god — and even their own tribes are always at war with one another.”
Soon, people began taking to social media to call out both writers for their depiction of the Amazigh. They faced accusations of Islamophobia and racism, as well as perpetuating Westernized stereotypes of African cultures. Neither Willow nor Hendel have answered the criticism publicly. Check out a few complaints below.
Wtf is her problem??? She not worried about the Whites that brought her people to america? But amazigh?
