Anonymous: I am thinking of starting a RP based in the town of Mathias West Virginia, I was wondering if you could help me with the racial make up of West Virginia's towns. I don't want to white wash but I want to be accurate (say there are like 10 poc for every 1 white person which in a town like Mathias probably isn't likely) how can I find a healthy balance?

While the population of West Virginia is 94% White, in your roleplay, it is very important to use POC face claims in order to be inclusive. I don’t have a good rule of thumb other than to choose a POC face whenever you can. I really wouldn’t worry about having too many POC faces. People will appreciate you including POC faces and won’t judge you if the demographics are a bit skewed from reality. Being inclusive is much more important than being demographically accurate.
