Re: Writing characters of color while showing not telling and not pissing people off

What's the POV? Who is describing the character, and how would they describe a person in general to someone else?

Well, if you use race to describe other characters, then describe this character racially as well. Otherwise, stick to neutral descriptors (i.e. describing skin tone without describing race) and find some way to have the character's race brought up later in the story, i.e. another character describing your biracial character to a third party, and describing their race in the process. Or maybe there's a note on some paperwork somewhere, or just lampshade it by having someone (for whom it is believable to do so and in a good context) flat out ask the character what their race is.
