Racist Writers

I was just noticing. There are a lot of stories on mibba, and there are a lot of different kinds of people in the world. But it seems to me, all main characters are white. I mean, maybe a few are black, but you rarely see an Asian or an Indian. Maybe a native american if it's part of the story line, but there's not a whole lot of color mixing on mibba.

I was especially noticing this with the teenage romances. There are tons of them on here. But it always seems to me that the right guy, is the white guy.

Maybe this is cause many writers on here are white, and you write what you know. Or maybe it's just been so socially ingrained into us that when it comes to stories, white is the default color. So now whenever a character is conceived, their color usually starts white, and doesn't change from that, unless there is a specific reason in the storyline.

All I know, is sometimes I get tired of the blizzard. White, white, everywhere I turn. It's really nothing personal, just would love to see a colored main character, where color isn't a big deal.

What do you think?
