Yeah, there was a lot of discussion of the fear of writing a character of color going around. I don't get it--I don't worry about writing white folks.
People over think this thing too much. Two of the best Gunn writers I know are white. They write the hell out of him. *shakes head* folks are too worried about being PC. and besides, lassiter/shawn is *ooogly*!!!
Sometimes I shy away from writing any character from another culture because I am horrible with any dialect other than my own. But I still don't see how that would be a problem with Gus.
