/lit/ - Literature

On fanfiction (now hear me out) I've seen a lot of "characters of color" or "chromatic characters" tags.
Now, I don't think "racist" is the right word, but I can't help thinking it's weird drawing that much attention to something that has literally no effect on the story.

Thoughts?

Because it's really bothering me. Are there people who only read stories with black people in it? The black people in these stories aren't even "black people" y'know? Their behavior differs none from any other non-black character and without visual clues, people without the context would have no idea otherwise.

Is it kind of social justice thing? Because I think it's kind of not... that.
