I know I've played characters of mixed race, but I don't think I've ever played a character that isn't either white, or half-<something else>. I have had a lot of 'there are like twenty things going on here' characters that are deliberately hard to pin down re: a specific racial origin. This model is one of the most jaw-droppingly stunning women I have ever seen, and there's a lot going on there and it would be easy to read other things into it all, too. (She's part Irish, part Jamaican, from what I recall, but it would be easy to guess at other things, too.)

I don't pretend to have a clue about the experience of somebody who isn't white, and don't trust myself to play that well. Somebody who is facing 'you don't fit either "side"'? That I can empathize with more due to some other stuff in my life, even though on the surface, it seems more complicated.
