[QUOTE="Mimic, post: 4309718, member: 13569"] I am fairly certain that my character is going to be from the U.S. probably from the mid-west bible belt area. It will give him a good fish out of water feel, and could lead to some interesting misconceptions about the world outside of the US. I am actually toying with giving him some pretty distorted views on ethnic people/women but I wanted to see what everyone else thought of it first. Now I don't mean racist, per say, just a very 1950s look at things. Men went out and earned the money while the women stayed at home and they don't voice their opinions. "Those colored people are ok if they stick to there own kind" sort of thing. Ok, looking at what I wrote its pretty racist/sexist but he doesn't hate/dislike others its just how he was raised. Would this be taking it too far? Does anyone have any objection to this? [/QUOTE]
