ysabetwordsmith ... that wouldn't work as people of color. Fascinating.
I've got one. Chris in Schrodinger's Heroes only works as a good ol' boy because he's white, and as such, he makes a terrific contrast to the very mixed remainder of the cast and also to his obnoxious relatives. Now granted, I set things up that way after I rolled his ethnicity and gender, because I saw how useful that would be. But it still plays into the characterization far more than usual.
