Something that I’ve always been intrigued and interested by is how people of color come to, in a way, escape their perceived cultural outposts. For non-POC folks being “strange & different” is seen as plain eccentricity while doing the same while being a POC is seen as pure deviance. We are maligned by both the “dominant” culture and our “traditional” culture. As noted in such films such as AfroPunk, we exist somewhere neither here nor there (but maybe everywhere?)
The Other amongst the others.
