what things are underrepresented in fiction?

I am sorry for the spelling mistakes btw, mobile is weird and gets confused when trying to type between two languages.

 

@Raire
That actually reminded me that I need to be better about non white characters in my comic.
@Bel Capricorn just paging you to remind me of this for when i come up with side characters

 

Of course

 

@Raire also Americans forget that the US was not the only big immigration destination. Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and probably most of the others are a huge mix of things just like the US is. I remember reading that there's a small area in Argentina where the immigrants were mostly Welsh miners, for instance.

 

@Morven Oooh yeah, like the waves of German immigration we got and the areas where about 80% of the population is of German descent, and Peru received a huge influx of East Asian immigrants, and continues receiving them. I think Brazil has the highest population of Japanese outside of Japan! ,_,

 

homeschoolers--particularly homeschoolers who aren't white upper-middle-class fundamentalist evangelicals with four to 12 children homeschooled for religious reasons. some examples:

-the most liberal homeschooling family i have ever known is a catholic family with one kid. they homeschooled after some years of public school not for religious reasons, but because the child was having difficulties (bullying, i think.)
-10+ years ago when i joined a homeschooling guild on gaia online, the majority of the people whose religions i knew were wiccan. some said they were homeschooled because public schools were too christian.
-the first homeschooling group that i took much notice of was based in a reformed presbyterian church. they were fundamentalists who homeschooled for religious reasons, but they were very calvinist, very intellectual, and somewhat scornful of more charismatic fundamentalist christians who value emotion over logic. most of them had two or three kids.
-i've heard that homeschooling is becoming more common among poc families. (specifically i read an article where a new homeschooling parent quoted racist bullying and distrust of the system/the system's ability to provide a decent education as reasons for homeschooling.) i don't know how rare it was to begin with, but i only knew two poc homeschooling families growing up compared to dozens of white ones.
