It's where a government separates people based on what they look like. EX: blue eyes and blonde hair and brown eyes and brown hair. But I kind of want it to not just limit on features of the person because the government that I have planned is kind racist but I don't want people to think that I myself as the author is racist. Because I'm not. I just don't know what to do because I want to include other characters I just don't know how bad it'll look on me and if I get hate for it if it gets popular. I don't know what to do. Do you guys have any ideas??
If it's just on hair and eyes, I wouldn't really call it racist but if the government separated people based on the color of their skin, then the government would be considered racist. Also, I don't think it'll look bad on you just because you're doing the whole separating-people-because-of-the-color-of their-hair-and-eye thing, nor would it look bad on you if it was the skin thing either. One of the only ways it'll look bad on you is if you are degrading someone with one of the certain features.
Well the way the government would have it is you would be sorted into certain sectors or groups based on hair, eye, and skin. I just wanted to give some examples of some of the more stereotypical eye and hair color. I just don't want it to look bad on me if I made the government that way. @Bananapudding
I don't think it won't (and im speaking as a poc). It's not like you're degrading anyone with those features. I did something similar in my novel except it was with species though withing each species they do have issues with prejudice against skin color and nationality. However, as i'm writing this, i'm not degrading certain people with these types of features.
Okay that makes sense. I was just worried (coming from a non poc) that I would get hate or something similar if I wrote about it or something. Because even though each sector is different, the government is really degrading them but more as separating each person so they're kind of easier to maintain or something like that. I don't know exactly what I want with this plot yet. But your advice really helps with my problem so thanks a bunch. @Bananapudding
