I found it interesting that all the examples he uses of things he had to know about, in order to write about a non white character, were the ways in which that character would experience racism and discrimination.
I’m not sure if he meant it that way, but it comes off as if he thinks that this experience of discrimination is the most important thing he’d have to know about.
That does worry me. What about all the other cultural and class differences? Those are the things that I worry about getting wrong. The subtle things that are core to a character, and that I’d miss because I’m a white, middle class person.
