***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** And how Missy called Georgina "George" for short (is her womanhood denied because of her blackness?).

***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** I'm not black. But I've felt like absolute hell with the white familiar of a person I dated. Horrible shit.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Like the white mother ask for documentation of my baptism (make sure I wasn't *too* indigenous/savage).
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** But I've also seen anti-blackness operate in my own community when someone dates a black person.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Even up to disowning family members because they married a black person. This is *very* persistent.

***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** The film gave me more to think about the second time around, esp in terms of solidarity and complicity.

So...thoughts on the scene involving the only nbpoc in the movie? (re: Asian dude asks Chris about the Black experience in U.S.)
-
I'm still not sure what to make of it. Ive read it's an example of perpetual immigrant. I don't agree tbh.
@heymisswillis -
I've also read that it's symbolic of the way asian-americans perpetuate anti-blackness. Could be (?).

Get this: He is the ONLY guest to ask Chris a question of substance, but he's also a guest at Chris auction

-
What that said to me was that he's aware of anti-Blackness but doesn't see and/or care that he participates in it
-
He asked "do you find it easy or difficult to be Black in America?" A more respectable topic than "I met Tiger Woods"
-
But then you realize he could win this auction and thus have Chris' body
-
So he's concerned about being Black but not concerned about what his anti-Blackness is about to do to someone who actually is
