[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw it. I found it hard to believe Tessa would pass for white. It took me out of the movie for that reason. I too would like to read more about people who m successfully “passed” as white. [/quote] Wasn't it Ruth Negga who was passing?[/quote] Yes, but there's a scene at the beginning when Tessa [i]passes[/i] in a hotel restaurant. [/quote] yes! one of the women could NOT pass and it low key bothered me b/c that is part of teh cruelty of white supremacy and the Black experience, a women who looked like that would've been hollered at and told to get out, there was no escape from the random humiliation unless you had enough white in you to pass as white and even then you'd be terrified that someone would ID you. there was a fantastic book about this that i just read.. i think by brit bennet??[/quote]
