So what's PC, how can I describe a Jamaican character without offending anyone. He's not African American because he's neither. Some people are offended by, "Black". The narrator is unaware that he's Jamaican on first seeing him and some of my betas have found describing him as Jamaican a little later on to be confusing, they don't know what he looks like because I didn't go into skin colour on the initial description and not all Jamaicans are black.
I know others have had the problem, I was totally unaware that the announcer for Qiddich in HP was black until I saw the movies. After watching the movies I re-read the stories and noticed that yes, it was subtly hinted that the kid was black but it was really easy to miss.
How would you put it?
