Worried that my story isn't diverse enough?
Hello! I love writing more casual things. I've been building this world for a few years now which follows a couple of 20 somethings after college/didn't attend college/etc.
It's not set in a specific city, more so City, America if that makes sense.
However, I realized that most of my cast is asian. I think as it stands it's 4 east asians, 3 SEA, 1 mixed British/Kenyan, 1 Persian.
I also noticed that within the characters, the ships are always "tanner skin x lighter skin" so to speak, like there are two primary ships where one character is east asian while the other is SEA and tanner as a result. I obviously didn't do this on purpose but I'm worried if it shows up too much? Does anyone notice this in other writing?
For context, I am asian and i'm mainly an artist, so when i draw my characters i notice they all end up looking asian as well, which is why the cast is primarily asian. I'm just worried if it feels weird that the cast skews so one way?
I don't know, let me know your thoughts! Please be nice, this might be a stupid question but I'd just like to know common consensus is all.
