What I’m trying to say is that you can’t possibly write a character that could be of any cultural and ethnic background. The only case where that could work (other than fantasy and purposely non-realistic stories) is if they’re irrelevant bg characters. Even the mere language and jargons are influenced by culture and social status. The problem isn’t how the character looks, but what their appearance is linked to. A POC in Africa is the norm, the same POC in Italy isn’t.
I mean, what you’re saying here
is that writing about a native Albanian and an Asian one is exactly the same thing. They come home from a day in school and they’d only speak Albanian with their parents, for example. It’s like erasing the fact that that Asian Albanian family belongs to another culture as well.
@Matilda_the_lovely said it extremely well.
Which is very true. I’m native Italian, I can’t pretend that every young adult that lives and breathes in Italy leads their life exactly how I do. My Filipino friends used to go home from school and speak Filipino to their parents, they had their customs at home, they ate food that my parents didn’t even know where to begin to cook.
At that point it just becomes pure fiction, as if the story is set in a utopia. Which is fine I guess if it’s intentional. But if it’s set in the real world, when you create a character you have to include their appearance along as part of their identity in the story
