...writing about another POC group, (I'm East Asian- Chinese Australian, and my protagonist is Garifuna),what are some things I should keep in mind to mostly avoid offending people? I think the unknowing stereotypes are more of an issue because the Garifuna aren't known to most of the English-speaking world outside of Belize, Central America, and the Caribbean, so anything the average English-speaking reader "knows" about them is going to be affected by the way I portray my narrator and his family life and his culture.
So for other POC writers writing about other
POC characters from different ethnic groups, what do you try to avoid?
