This is mostly concerning James but it applies to every character ever:

Ethnicities are not just aesthetics

There is a cultural significance to them

I’ve seen so so many people just make James desi by making him darker, making him eat desi food and making him call Regulus hindi pet names

there is so much more to desi culture than just that

Same with latino James

They just make him darker and speak Spanish

If we’re going to make people darker to be inclusive at least do it well

been thinking about this question and hopefully this won't be too awkward to ask. since judaism is itself an ethnicity and religion at the same time, imagine you have ancestors from like idk portugal who converted to judaism centuries and centuries ago and so their descendants are all jewish but don't know about the conversion part. can they call themselves ethnically jewish?

A person becomes part of the Jewish ethnicity when they convert to Judaism. Ethnicity is more than DNA, it's about your peoplehood. As a student of anthropology I honestly don't like how the rise of at-home DNA test kits have put into people's minds their identity is a complicated equation of DNA percentages. People are not math problems. If you were born Jewish you are 100% Jewish. If you converted to Judaism you are 100% Jewish. DNA tests only measure the genes you're more likely to share with certain populations, and even then they're not completely accurate. Ethnicity isn't about blood quantum, at least it shouldn't be.

Here's an example, using myself:

I've never taken a DNA test, and don't intend to, but if I had to guess it would probably give me a result of something like: 58% Ashkenazi Jewish; 25% Northern European; 15% Sephardi Jewish; 2% Northern African.

What does that tell me about my ethnicity? Nothing. It tells me percentages of DNA I have that are most likely shared with certain populations of people from certain geographic regions (haplogroups), but my ethnicity is 100% Jewish and I don't need a DNA test to tell me that, because I know I was born Jewish.

DNA tells you your haplotypes. Peoplehood tells you your ethnicity. And peoplehood is defined by the people themselves.

So yes, the descendents of converts are ethnically Jewish. All Jews are ethnically Jewish.

My journey with race and my ethnicity has always been complicated. When I was younger, I was very tan. I always looked latino. There was no doubt in my mind of what I was, and I accepted myself. I also have very strong Jewish features, small but round face, big nose, big eyes, etc etc. My mom grew up similarly to me in a way, her mom grew up believing that she was half black. She was very dark, had curly hair, wide features, etc etc. So my mom naturally got a lot of those features. She was always curvy, had big lips, curly hair, darker skin, etc etc. Later in life she took a DNA test, and 100% thought she’d get that she was a quarter black. Well, turns out that she wasn’t a quarter black and was actually Sicilian. Shes just a very dark Sicilian. Which could be rooted in the Arabic roots of Sicilians.

My own experience with race has been also complicated. I got a lot of my mother’s features and a lot of my father’s features. It seemed I didn’t fit in anywhere. I was to dark and “ethnic looking” to be good enough for the white people, and to light and Jewish looking to be good enough for the Hispanic people around me.

I grew up in a very blended family. With people of all races and ethnicities. From two of my sisters being black, to me and my twin being latino, to more. It was just always like that.

My life was filled with culture. When I was involved with my dad’s side of the family I was constantly exposed to the Latino and Jewish culture. It was amazing. My whole family on my dad’s side spoke Spanish so I was exposed to a lot of Hispanic culture. My whole family on my dad’s side was proud to be Hispanic and Jewish. They were just like that.

My own journey with my race and ethnicity is hard. I don’t look not white, but I don’t look white enough. And that’s been my whole life. From microagressions being thrown my way, to the classic “what are you?” Being asked. I’ve seen it all. I’m everyday trying to connect to my roots, but everyday itself is a constant self image battle of “who am I?” “What am I?”

Just some late night thoughts and rambling.

I’m really fond of the game and its diversity but I was wondering what are the ethnicities of the characters

So I actually haven't assigned true ethnicities to the characters. I thought about it in the beginning but as I continued to write and the characters grew and evolved, it didn't make sense anymore to do that. They live in a world that is founded by ancient beings while people from different worlds and realms enter into the Night Market constantly. The RO's are all from very different realms as well. Having what we could identify as a certain ethnicity or culture didn't quite seem fitting. And I haven't been writing any of them based on a specific culture either.

I almost want the Night Market to stand on its own. That these characters have a background of this world. Hazel and Malcolm were born in the Night Market so that makes sense. Milo doesn't remember his home. And while Bella and Gabe do remember their home, Gabriel's was also a diverse extraterrestrial kind of place and Bella is a completely different being than before.

I think it is a really interesting tool for writers to use to draw on different ethnicities for their novels and I love reading true BiPOC books in order to learn more about different cultures. But, it didn't seem to fit in this IF for me.

Thank you for such a wonderful ask anon!

"Everyone has heard the whispers of country clubs denying membership based on background or beliefs, and one Ontario private community is making zero effort to hide its rule of ethnic exclusivity in a perplexing real estate listing that has quietly sat on the market since 2022.

The listing advertises the typical features you'd associate with a small-town home, along with its country club-specific lifestyle and the associated membership fees. But the home description kind of goes off the rails in the last few sentences of the listing, stating that any prospective buyer must be of "Ukrainian descent" to qualify for purchase.

Hold the phone. What?

Time to dive into the law books for a look at the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Under Part 1 (Freedom from Discrimination), section 2 (Accommodation) of the Code, "Every person has a right to equal treatment with respect to the occupancy of accommodation, without discrimination because of race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, family status, disability or the receipt of public assistance."

A handful of these classifications most definitely seem to point towards there being some pretty glaring issues with maintaining restrictive covenants limiting non-Ukrainians from purchasing a home.

In short, all signs point to 'you can't do this in Ontario.'

When asked directly if this listing is, in fact, legal, Rayissa Palmer, the broker associated with the listing, told blogTO, "That's a very good question," and then proceeded to describe the complexities of this community without ever directly addressing the opening query."

This is super illegal and unethical. Their argument is that technically you wouldn't own the land, you'd be a member. And that no one has challenged the legality of this yet. It's time someone challenged the legality of this.
