I have been mulling over in my head an idea for some time now about a society/culture of were-foxes, specifically humans who turn into foxes rather than foxes who turn into humans. I've been pondering the idea of whether or not they should be People of Colour, and for quite a while I was considering that these humans might resemble Asians (which I know is extremely general, so to narrow it down, I was thinking mainly East Asia such as China, Japan and Korea). I imagine the were-foxes exhibiting a variety of physical fox traits even when in human form; whiskers, fox-like eyes, part of a fox-muzzle, a tail, fox-like ears and so on. I haven't really gone into their culture much yet.
Thoughts on this? I have researched the issues surrounding the portrayal of People of Colour in fiction - especially fantasy - but I am certainly no authority on the matter and consider it wise to check my priviledge and to discuss any problems my idea might pose before I go mess things up and hurt people.
