Prompt 23: brought to you by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gardnerhill: Eat Raw Meat and Dance His War-Dance. From the original ACD to modern-day adaptations, the treatment of non-white characters in Sherlock Holmes (examples including "The Sign of Four," "The Blind Banker") can be racially problematic if not downright racist. Here's your chance to "fix" such a portrayal, or to deal with the subject of race from any version of SH (Sally Donovan or Joan Watson might have an earful to tell you, or the two African-American protagonists of the comic-book series Watson and Holmes).
A/N: This is a loaded subject (particularly right now in my city in my field of work and (in one case) involving people I hold dear). If you, as a reader, don't like my take on the prompt, I welcome polite and constructive discourse. If you're not going to be polite or constructive, I invite you to navigate away.
A/N2: Many thanks tomethylviolet10b for her zippy-quick beta!
