Yay for multiculturalism and yay for a laugh!
Many of us are as confused as everyone else. We’re a large group bound together by only one factor — we’re not white. So different things matter in different degrees to all of us, it’s near impossible to speak as one.
I don’t even like the term people of colour. The first time I heard it I thought of the Smurfs because they’re blue.
I feel like, outside of a few groups, you can’t use the African American experience as the universal experience for minority groups. There is something different two groups where one is a somewhat recent arrival versus one that was enslaved and oppressed without the ability to capitalize on their cultural fruits.
This is a famous story in the US.
When the movie executives started getting called out on racism back in the day they stopped doing things like casting white actors to play Chinese people.
They also stopped making and showing cartoons featuring Speedy Gonzalez, a Mexican mouse who spoke with a heavy accent.
Turned out, the Mexican Americans loved Speedy.
What one group hates, another embraces.
