I don't want to offend someone, XD) and they just are kinda pushed to the side a bit. Like if there was a movie, I generally don't like having too many changes, but I kinda wish Dex, Fitz, or Keefe wasn't caucasian. Idk, I feel like that might upset some people if Dex was Asian because it would just be the whole "smart geeky asian" stereotype, and I guess some people would get offended if one of the guys was a racial minority because they'd be like "They only cast Fitz as black because he has anger issues and they're trying to claim that black people or evil" and same thing for Keefe joining the Neverseen or they'd be annoyed if Dex was a racial minority because he doesn't get so much screen time, but I kinda wish they could just non-offensively have more racial diversity. Like the Vackers are the super-influential family that's like elven royalty, them being not-caucasian would be nice. Just break up the sea of whiteness with characters who are actually in the story from the beginning. I know, there are racial minorities, but they pretty much just put in them later and they don't get enough screen time. Actually, it would also be great to have LGBTQ+ pairings, all we have so far is just Keefe– idk what to call it, you know how Dex says in Nightfall that he, if anyone, is going to collapse and Keefe wraps his arms around Dex and says something like "Aw, I won't let you fall Dexy!", but that's not really flirting, it's Keefe joking around. I totally agree! (except for the part about LGBTQ+ ships, because then I would probably have to stop reading the series (no offenese)). Also, I don't really think Shannon is going to add any religions in the book because if there's one religion and not another then only the one person who is that religion will be happy. -
