Writers from a minority, write as if you are the majority. Do not explain. Do not cater. Do not translate. Do not apologize. Assume everyone knows what you are talking about, as the majority does. Write with all the privileges of the majority, but with the humility of a minority.
Why write with the humility of a minority? Because humiliated people often do not learn the lesson of humility. That’s why the powerless, when they become powerful, often abuse power. Don't become just like the majority. Be better. Wiser. Humble. Yet still confident.
Yes.
