Writing with sensitivity

Writing with sensitivity and respect for members of other cultures should be easy because as humans we should respect and love everyone, but that usually is not the case.
Most people have preconceived notions about cultures that are not their own. These notions could be negative or positive, but in reality they should not exist at all.
If someone wants to only write for one culture or community then they should not write for the local newspaper or a big city newspaper because that paper usually goes out to many different cultured people. The people that want to write only for their culture should create or join a paper that is dedicated solely to that certain culture.
The daily local papers that go out to everyone have to be especially careful in what they print to not offend anyone. It can be a hassle that some people get offended easily, but at the same time we need to respect that maybe we do not understand what everyone goes through and try to be as considerate as possible.
