Ooof that sucks. I guess that is a bit of a tricky one in the bookstore. On one hand it’s just fiction, on the other you might want to specifically seek out work by black authors that is explicitly including themes of black experienced or cultures in fiction.

Getting pigeonholed in the latter though just means you don’t get seen by anyone seeking you out. Probably being in 2 places in a physical store would be good. Or a store just rotating through highlighting different authorial perspectives.
