Hi everyone,
My MC is bi-racial, 1/4 Korean, and takes after her mom (the Korean side) in appearance. I have a scene where the boy she likes calls her "doll" and says he likes "exotic" girls. She's very hurt and it comes out (in her thoughts) that it's something her mom has warned her about and that she's dealt with it in the past.
I'm trying to decide if I should keep it or not. I need the tension between the two characters to be there, but maybe I could use something else. I'm going to have to rework what's happening while this whole conversation is going on anyways.
Anyone with a similar background as my MC have any thoughts? Is this an issue I should bring up, or should I avoid it? Would anyone be willing to read the scene to see if I handled this sensitive topic right?
Maybe I should also add that the book is a YA spy thriller. The spy bit doesn't really play a part in this scene, just the background stuff I'm needing to rework.
