Yeah, what I do is make is more casual representation, I guess? Because we all are people, so just don't make it a big deal? If that makes sense? Obviously, it's a big deal to those being represented, but if you don't make it their entire personality, or bring it up all the time, that helps. Also, just doing your research like with religions (in one case I researched a lot of Muslim beliefs and rules) so you represent them accurately.
thank you!
