Okay, well I had no idea what the heck BAME was... or a lot of those terms. I wasn't aware that my identity would fall in line with any group of people that you could just categorize as a minority since there's billions of Chinese people. But I guess if I'm going to fall in the category of exclusive creators you want to read I'll throw my hat in the ring.
My name is Jon Gum, my dad is an American born Chinese and my mom is from Korea. I don't want to say I've ever been oppressed, but I've never much cared for my ethnicity, which is probably the reason why I haven't written any Asian characters in my life.
I DO care about telling a good story, and while some people have told me they enjoy the diversity in my comic, I don't exactly go out of my way for including diversity. There is a bi character in the first chapter of my comic, but it's not apparent, because again, first and foremost, the most important thing to me is if the story is good and compelling. If it isn't I'd appreciate feedback or criticism. This is my first comic and I've been working with Carpenter for about 5 years now.
Anyway, happy reading!
