Re: Question thread!

I think the "don't write black characters if you're not black!" idea is teenage tumblrite drivel. I do think however that sensitive topics are often best handled by those who have experienced them.

For example: if you're a white American writer writing a story set in an American city, you can include black characters and/or a black protag. It normalizes it and I think that's a good thing. If the story isn't *about* race, then the race(s) of the characters doesn't matter as long as it's realistic to the setting. BUT, if you're trying to write a harrowing emotional tale about a black person's experience with racism...I would probably avoid that unless specifically endorsed to do so by someone who has experienced it and/or you've done extensive research. It's very easy to do something like that wrong and it can wind up being in very bad taste.
