For brown and black folks here..
If you are watching say a movie with ensemble cast .. whom do you associate with more deeply? Do you associate more with the white cast or with the PoC cast ?
I ask this keeping two things in mind
1) Both of them have layers . They have stories that resonate with your lives . Guilt grief joy all of it .
2) Keep a non judgemental and kind perspective.
Today as I was watching The series BEAR .. i realised how much I was unconsciously resonating with the white cast more than the black cast .. like skipping the black people story plots .. but as I stopped and dived deeper I realised I am very much like Sydney.. a bold little impatient yet decisive young black girl.
