cdybedahlI was reading ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thete1's manifesto for Remember Us and finding it entirely reasonable, if a bit alien, when I ran full tilt into this sentence:
"Also, in my estimation, Black, Asian, Middle Eastern, and African characters have been underrepresented"
"Black" and "African" are different? I was under the impression that my sister's boyfriend (or what you should call him, they've been living together for eight years and have a three-year-old son) was black. He was born in Ghana, of Ghanese parents, and he's certainly a lot darker than most black people I see on TV. But somehow he doesn't qualify as black?
