I hate that I have to actually address this but when I write my stories, ALOT of planning is put into the process i.e. plot lines, characters, ways to not force them into a storyline, etc. ALL of this planning includes characters that are diverse and I’ve come across a small minority making racially insensitive statements/ comments about POC being MCs in my books. I write because I want there to be a diverse range of characters everyone can relate to. Whether it is an African American power wielding badass witch like Maddie Fury OR a sassy, kind hearted Latina FBI agent like Callie Sanchez.
If you have nothing respectful to say, don’t say it. Simple as that.
