the reason i personally don't have a poc in my list of characters is not because i don't think i can do them justice or i can't relate to them. it's not even because i'm worried about getting wanked on for something. i don't have a poc in my list simply because i haven't found any that i want to play. this isn't because they're a poc, but because there are really so very few characters that i feel capable of playing. there are loads of characters i love and love seeing and fandoms that are great and fun to watch, but i just don't find a lot of characters that hit that button that makes me want to pick them up and play them.
i also don't watch/read/involve myself with a lot, so yes, my selections are really limited. i don't know if this is the same for anyone else, but that's my specific reason why i don't have a poc in my line up. if i wound up watching/reading something that had a poc that i really liked and clicked with and wanted to pick up, i'd play the fuck out of them. and i wouldn't give a shit that they were a poc. i'd give a shit about what an interesting/great character they were.
not everyone is running away from anything that's not white simply because of the fact that they're not white. if you want to bitch at anyone for the lack of poc characters in rp, blame the fandoms/series for whitewashing.
