Something caught my attention while I was looking at a literary agent's page. They wrote that they didn't want books that featured a certain race of people, unless they were written by someone of that race.
Which I get. I'll bet a lot of what she's seen is white people butchering other cultures.
But shouldn't we encourage people to learn about other cultures? As long as they do it well and respectfully?
I definitely don't want to write about only white people. I think that's problematic on a number of levels. Especially considering the world my stories are set in.
