Sometimes we all need a reminder that race is a cultural construct. And every culture will construct something slightly different.
I was watching the Australian version of the sitcom Ghosts and was shocked to hear the main character described as Black.
Black? That woman is white to me. But then, I'm not Australian.

@davidnjoku@mastodon.world Yes, we thought the same. In fact one of our first comments to each other when we started watching the Aussie programme was surprise that the two human characters weren't of different races, as they are in both the UK and US versions. Turns out that they are, but in a very Australian way.
