I end up on panels about writing the other a lot because I write a lot of characters who are very different than me. Cultural appropriation often comes up. Writers may either overthink or underthink their portrayals of characters from cultures they don’t share. Either route has its hazards.

I liked this article for the variety of opinions from a variety of people, a good sampling of what a lot of people have to say about the concept.
