Re: DA

On the one hand, nonwhite people need better representation in fiction.
On the other hand, it's rather sketchy to make a character black (or Asian, or Native American, or Hispanic, etc.) simply for the sake of including a non-white character and fulfilling some arbitrary quota.
We want characters to come in all colours, just like real people. We don't want yet another "token black" included just to give the creators brownie points.

So yes, randomly assigning various races to characters just for the sake of being diverse IS THE ISSUE.

I still disagree. There is absolutely nothing wrong with diversity just for the sake of diversity most cases, contrary to popular belief. Unless the story or characterization depends upon a character being a certain race, it is not an issue. Especially in fantasy where you can create the entire world yourself and don't have to think about whether a character in your setting would statistically, in the real world, be that of race.

Tokenism

Re: AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

That's not diversity for the sake of diversity, that's diversity for the sake of tokenism. A token is a character that only exists in a story in order for there to be diversity. A character that is an actual important part of the story and just happens to be nonwhite for no necessary reason isn't a token.
