Hello all, I have a question about the way my story works.
In my novel that I'm working on, Fae (the "good guys") have white-blonde hair and sea-green eyes, although their skin colour and ethnic features vary, if that makes sense. Basically depending on what part of their nation they come from, they could look, say, Chinese in all ways except for the colour of their hair and eyes.
On the other hand, the Elves (the "bad guys") have brown hair and golden eyes. This works the same way as it does for Fae.
My question is, is this racist to have the good people with light hair and the bad people with dark hair? Two of my three main characters, although Fae, are POC. The main antagonist, who is Elf, is white. Does anyone, or could anyone, take offense to this? It's very ingrained into my story and although I've taken certain measures to try and make this non-racist I'm still worried it could be viewed as such. I don't want to offend anyone.
