Hi there, I’ve made this thread to help EVERYONE & ANYONE!
This thread was created to help others with adding / including diverse characters to their stories.
I know that different nationalities / races / genders / languages / etc all have things unique about there nationality / race / gender / language / etc…
This thread is designed so that people of different nationalities / races / genders / language / etc can all comment things about them that is often misunderstood / misinterpreted / shown incorrectly / etc…
This is for ANYONE to leave a comment on.
To help, you can either =
Create some characters / outfits representing your nationality / race / gender / language / etc…
Comment information about your nationality / race / gender / language / etc…
Comment information that is often misunderstood / misinterpreted / shown incorrectly / etc…
Comment clichés related to your nationality / race / gender / language / etc that are either true / false / should be avoided.
Comment personality traits that should be included / avoided in these diverse characters.
Comment day to day activities / chores your nationality / race / gender / language / etc does (if any).
Do anything else you think might help someone when looking to include a diverse character!
PLEASE HELP OUT IF YOU CAN SINCE THIS SORT OF TOPIC OFTEN GETS AUTHORS CONFUSED OR THEY START MAKING MISTAKES, THIS THREAD IS TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING AND TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS REPRESENTED CORRECTLY
Feel free to tag anyone you know who may be able to offer some help of any sort!
Internet research will be added as well when I do some (You can comment any research you’ve done as well) (:
I agree a lot of stereotypes are made surrounding the British and its strange having to explain to people I meet on hear that we do eat and drink other things other than tea or fish & chips.
It was difficult trying to explain to an American friend of mine that not everyone was a chav/roadman
We had fish goujons and sometimes fish fingers but it was awful I was so happy when they started doing a jacket potato once like every three weeks instead of the fish
When I was in yr6 they brought in starters on some days and took away the pudding for that day and the only other time I had seen us all so insulted was when they took away everyone’s fav pudding - the magic chocolate pudding with custard
OMG the magic chocolate pudding! I remember that, we used to get it with chocolate custard though and they other days they did a traybake style cake with icing and multi-coloured sprinkles & custard which was labelled ‘Fairy Cake & Custard’
I think I was in yr2, we had this rice pudding that not a single person would eat. I mean we only had about 119 people in the school but we all hated it so they finally took it off the menu
We used to get a main course of Macaroni Cheese but no body ever touched it since it looked like green goop on a plate (If people don’t know, Macaroni is commonly a shade of yellow since it’s pasta & melted cheese) (:
We used to get dinner ladies come round and we had to ask before we were allowed to eat our pudding I mean it was good that they were making sure people ate but the food wasn’t always great
