What a great read, thank you! This movie is specifically about passing, but I'm thinking about how most classic Hollywood POC actors were passing every time they were acting, either as white people or as other POC, because apparently all people of colour are interchangeable. It makes for a very jarring (if not infuriating) experience for non-white viewers, but I think it's always worth documenting it, so I really appreciated this post. And I feel even more vindicated in considering "Oh look, x actor is playing his/her own ethnicity" as a valid, positive review of a movie!
