Hello everyone!
So I was writting and I came into a "small bump in the road."
In my novel, the majority of the population is "White/Caucasian" however, I do want to implement other types of characters from other countries who have different types of skin and characteristics. My problem is, I don't know which is the correct way to address them [I am scared that people might consider it racist].
These are what I've been doing so far: When someone is "white" I usually describe them as "pale". I also state that some people are "tanned" and "mullato".
With this I want to know how you reffer to the different skin characteristics when you write?
[I know this is a very sensitive topic, I truly don't wish to offend anyone. This is a genuine question that I am struggling and would appreciate the help!]
Stay safe!
