its such a bizarre feeling when ur suddenly necessitated to acknowledge a thought process that a. u didnt even notice was there because its so natural to u and b. that other ppl dont think like that
#*deep space noises*
#its why i had (and continue to trip up on) such confusion around colourblindness in regards to race
#what i thought was ~nuanced colour blindness~ turned out to largely be a fundamental misunderstanding of the term
#and much more akin to the theory of racelessness
#(ie. that race isnt real but racism is due to its invention
#and that the goal is acknowledging difference but seeing it as a neutral and something to be celebrated
#but still being aware and proactive abt dismantling racism being experienced now
#(khadija mbowe has a fab insightful video on it that i would highly recommend))
#ANYWAY i just encountered this just now trying to understand the difference between colour-blind and colour conscious casting
#and i think the reason im getting confused is that stuff that seemed so obvious and natural to me would not come up in colour blind casting
#ie. be aware that actors of colour get hired way less
#and acknowledging your casting choices and why you may be hiring white actors for leads more
#or putting actors of colour in villainous or subservient roles a lot
#and speaking with actors abt if theyd like to bring anything to the table in the performance
#apparently there are ppl that dont? do that??
#its always a strange feeling
#like not everyone worries abt dying at least once a day. or does not like to think in nuance
