In my opinion, the race of the writer matters when the story is about race because the author has different complexation and without any experience. For instance, Kate Chopin’s story is great and well written but not very interesting to the reader because according to her biography, her family was actually a slave owned so in her point of view, she wrote it easy and simple in her story. In this story, Kate’s race matters because most writers will only have stereotypical knowledge about the other race. It is noteworthy to know that stereotypical interpretations are very problematic especially when dealing with sensitive topics in history like slavery. There would not be any dilemma if a white writer is willing to conduct extensive research and obtain information from sources about the black experience in America in order to reach a wider audience.

Hello Shakhrizoda,
I agree with your point that “the race of the writer matters when the story is about race because the author has different complexation and without any experience”. I agree because if you dont come from that race or have experinced anything they have you won’t be able to speak on it.
