What the fuck are 'white people problems', and why aren't non-white people allowed to have them? idgi. Not every problem a POC has is going to be a special POC problem. My POC-POV (sorry, I just always wanted to write/say that) problems on a random day are 99% exactly the same as they'd be if I was white. I find the whole idea of "white people problems" much more insulting than an author making a mistake about a culture that they haven't grown up in. It implies that POC are like a whole utterly different species that someone who happens to be white can never ever hope to relate to or share problems, dreams and thoughts with - and vice versa.

BASICALLY I agree with you, OP. Keep writing, and if someone has a problem with it, ask for corrections and make it more accurate. Shrug. Also I find "white people problems" offensive on the POC side as well as the obvious white-people-who-really-do-have-problems side, so I don't know who people are trying to fight for when they use that phrase. If no-one was allowed to write anything that they hadn't personally experienced, well... there wouldn't be much fiction around.

IAWTC and wish there was an LJ "like" button.

You hit the nail, directly on the head!

As a writer, and and artist, who has struggled with the looming gaze of the SJW crowd...I just want to hug you!

Telling white people that they can only write about white people, 'white problems, and restrict themselves to their own personal sexuality and gender identity is just wrong, just wrong is too many ways to count.

I wish it would stop.

Agreed.

The ~Social Justice~ brigade needs to take a fucking seat. I'm sure most minorities don't need a bunch of uppity middle-class white women to tell them how to feel and act.

Sticking up for people is great. But creating a venomous, unrelenting dog pile on someone who used the "wrong" word is fucking stupid. Helping out in the real world would be more beneficial then patrolling the internet for a quick cause.
