Genuine question please, are you saying Gina is ashamed to be black and wishes she was white?
I've read all different reasons as to why Gina hates Hazel but not the one highlighted. I honestly want to know what you mean and why you think this is part of the reasons. Thanks.”
I said I suspected it, as a possibility. And why not? White facial make-up, blonde hair extensions, the affected Sloane accent. Plenty of black people slated Brian Belo during BB8 for wanting to be a white man because of his blue contact lenses and his hair relaxant. In fact, look at the things black people said about Michael Jackson.
Some people do wish they were another race. Some are quite open about it. It's no secret and it shouldn't be shocking. The fact that many people find it so is more a reflection of how little we've progressed in that debate, as compared, for example to the debate around people wanting to change gender. If anything, the reverse is true there. If someone posted today that the idea that someone would want to change gender is shocking and not to be debated, most here would, rightly, be shocked at such naivety.
