Honestly this is a very flawed idea. You can be from a culture and know less about it than another who's learned. This is a very common occurrence when it comes to religion, and isn't so far dissociated that it doesn't play the same effect on other interpretations of this ideal.
Being a POC doesn't mean you've lived the same life as another POC, or a different minority, nor does being white except you from knowing both the struggles and racism being faced in day to day life... Take being Irish, Jewish, for example. Even an 'African' American living in the south, a black person living in the north, and so on and so on- It's ridiculous as it is unfair.
There is no one voice that can 'own' anyone other than their own selfs.

Everyone lives their own life and faces their own strifes, and of course some of these are symptomatic of society, or even as a result of hundreds, going on thousands of years of prejudice- each experience is their own.
Assuming/putting all the pressure that certain minorities are fully knowledge beyond their own experiences and knowledge. Restricting them to be the /only ones allowed/ to write about such characters. Is not only racist, but completely unfair to those involved.

This is some serious shit when you get down to it. I know more than a few individuals who refuse to write about certain problems, things they've lived with, things that are too painful to put to paper.

Bottom line is that this is more than less, fictional writing, respect and research should go into what you write, be it fic, and certainly when you attempt original works. Empathy is the key here, not segregation.
