#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 09 How do you deal with describing specific character ethnicities?
In 1 essay abt being followed on various occasions, I purposely left out the ethnicity of my assailants b/c I didn't think it was relevant. I was accused of being racist (by a paid reviewer for a journal). That was her baggage. I revised the essay and named everyone's race/ethnicity -- I've been followed by all kinds of people, why I thought it irrelevant -- and that version was published.
