In a story, should the villain have the same skin color as the hero so that the story isn't called woke or racist?

[Anonymous]

If the hero is white, then the villain must also be white, otherwise is it racism?

If the hero is black, then the villain must be black, because if the villain is white, then he is woke?

Is it best to create characters of just one race?

on? ?

That isn't "woke" or "racist".

This may come as a surprise to you, but actors are selected on their ability to read and perform a script. The "race" of the people is either an aesthetics choice, or to keep with the story line.

But you seem the type who would shitpost online for Ariel being a "Black" mermaid. But be tone deaf to why a "mermaid" would be talking in American English...

Usually there are more than two characters in a story.

If you're a leftist, yes, if you're a rational thinking person the person's skin color doesn't matter only the character they play.
