I kind of wish there were more stories with people of color on Wattpad, you know? Like all I ever see are stories about urban life or some forbidden love tale of a black woman with a white dude (like what even? It's is 2018 guys!) and I mean that ok... it's just I'd like to see my fantasy stories with a main person of color! I'd like to see my historical fiction books with a black, or Indian, or Asian person. Id like to see some crappy werewolf/vampire romance with black vampires or a Latin America being the origin place for all things supernatural! I'd like to see me I guess? It's just I feel like people like me are interesting too, we can be the hero in the fantasy novels, the wise high school teacher, the dorky best friend. We can be people- playing many roles and developing different ideas and perspectives based upon our backgrounds- we don't need to be caricatures of our races (the exotic thing) or only there as background support when a situation needs extra sass or wisdom. We, the authors get to write all the things that aren't being published, so why restrict ourselves?
