About Whitewashing

fayanora talks about letting characters be themselves, and not changing their color or other traits. That's basically how I am with my characters.

You might try setting stories in a place where most or all of the characters have some other shade of skin. It's not a very common technique, outside of local fiction set in such places, which kind of surprised me -- I've always done it. You get some pretty cool stories that are different from the usual.
