I wrote a short, titled, "The Immigrant Problem" about an alien first contact during the Trump presidency. It's a political satire piece. The aliens ask the President for safe haven in the USA and Trump makes a deal with them to have them build the wall with their advanced tech in exchange. And there are unexpected consequences.
Someone read it and completely missed the fact it is a black comedy, and instead got wrapped up in the fact that the aliens resemble Aztecs and therefore decided I was writing a pro-prejudice piece. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact the goal of the piece was to highlight and ridicule prejudices not defend them. I was flabbergasted.
I would like to have the review removed because it is so wrong-headed and had the effect of deep sixing the story on this site.
