I have three major responses to this. None are really edifying. 1) is a kind of YES, and great intesrest in non-white in a white culture, and the pressing desire to talk to you about my reverse experience of race and South Africa and the schizophrenic impact of having my privilege (not only white, which is bad enough, but young, white, female, educated, *English*) so drastically imprinted on my skin after the different but no less extreme racial-majority-privilege of London; 2) is wow-i-hadn't-noticed-and-that's-SO-cool, and 3) is actually quite shameful, which is basically 'oh, wow, um, er, if you ever need *another* white model..' I just love getting turned into Art...
Hoever, it is 5.30 and i am largely incapable of articulating ay of these things with any degree of clarity, and can only pray i haven't said anything drastically offensive or tactless...
