I say just put yourself in your character's skin like you always do. Her personality shouldn't be defined by her ethnicity, right? It's just a small part of many pieces of her character. :) If you don't make a huge deal within the text about how she's Black/African American, there's no reason you would risk offending people. I don't see any wrong in going ahead and doing it. :)<br /><br />((And if you ever need a beta reader, I'd love to take a look at it. :]))Paruparohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260336428114782122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674370691521095384.post-2464516532457108292011-12-27T15:49:16.845-05:002011-12-27T15:49:16.845-05:00Thank you all for commenting!
