I've kind of wondered about the same thing. This: "I am White, living in a community that is so overwhelmingly White it glows in the dark, and thanks to our broken world I could comfortably blunder through life without ever considering other races." applies to me as well, or at least in the area I grew up in. I was fortunate enough to go to a college with a fairly diverse population, but I'm pretty sure I started creating characters with a wide variety of skin tones when I was about 10.
(It just occurred to me, since I spent the weekend hanging out with her - Sharyn November edits young adult and teen fiction. Do you want me to ask her if she knows anyone looking for something like OGYAFE?)
