I may not be 100% wrong, but I noticed a pattern. Whenever a story is led by minorities and white male characters are secondary, most of the time right-wing ideological white men start complaining and attacking the story. So if someone is starting to create a story, is it better to focus on a certain audience and not create white male characters? Or is that an exaggeration?

    Why does the story have to have race as a point?

    Does a character have to be white or Latino or Asian, etc?

    If the race or sex of the character adds nothing to the story, why include it in the first place?

    Is the story less if the reader to knows the character is a Hispanic female?

    If race or sex isn’t relevant to the story, then it is unnecessary to include and robs the reader of imagining the character based on their own biases and divinations your writing imparts. If you can write a truely great piece of work without saying what gender or race any character is, that would be remarkable.
