madisnorus-rex replied to your post: I’m in this situation where I want to write a sort of historical-fantasy type of story, and I want to write my protagonists as PoCs, but I’m having trouble determining how historically accurate I can make it while still telling the story I want to tell. And that story is not racial oppression- I don’t feel like I have the authority or skill to do that topic justice- but I can’t very well ignore it can I, seeing as it was (and remains) a significant social disgrace. Any advice?

What do you mean ‘historically accurate’? You’d be hard pressed to find a region of the world where, at any point in recorded history, PoC were particularly unusual.

BRHood: This is true. Thus why I put it in quotes. I mean, there’s no real conflict, honestly. Unless you MAKE it one. :/
