When it comes to writing about different cultures and communities, it is hard to get everything exactly right. No matter what rules I follow, or how hard I try to say the right thing about a different culture or community, there could still be a few people that I offend. It is hard because the "rules to follow" do not apply to every single person of a culture or community. Some people of a culture or community may find something extremely offensive, while others do not take any offense at all. The only thing I can think of to do before writing about a different culture is to do a lot of research, and do not put anything in a piece that I have any questions about. The sensitivity of writing about different cultures is the MOST difficult because everyone is different, and everyone perceives things a different way.
