@storyseeker Hello! As an Asian, I’m gonna assume that I have some authority to answer this question.
Often times I actually hate seeing diversity in books nowadays. Not that diversity is bad, but because everyone is misrepresented. (At least the Asians are. I can’t speak for others.) They do things that honestly I could never see myself doing. I can’t relate to them at all. When in their point of view, they seem white.
I think that writing characters of different races is okay. I’d just rather not be represented than misrepresented.
So make some friends with other people! Ask them what it’s like being their race. That’s my advice, at least.
