nojojojo on how to convey that your characters are not default-white. This is when I have one of my Pharisaical moments of 'Lord I thank Thee that I am not as other writers, even as this original novelist here' and even more, 'Lord I thank Thee that Thou madest me a fan of a Japanese series.' I don't have to decribe my characters. People already know what they look like. I don't have to work to get them culturally 'right'. I need only continue as their creator began.
More or less. ( Cut for cultural despair )
