does anyone else hate when the author will describe characters like white is the default race??? it genuinely ruins a book when they say sum like “the black couple” but they wouldn’t describe any character as “white” because it’s supposed to be “assumed”😑

I like when author don’t mention the race but instead mention physical attributes like hair type and facial features. That way I can imagine them however I want

i’m white so maybe i’m out of place here, but i just can’t help but be very annoyed! this was in lights out the dark stalker romance (i know😭) and it just doesn’t sit right when me when authors do that and i don’t even wanna keep reading! not a single white character is ever even described as “that white guy” 😑😑
