Thank you for this insightful video.

Great video. I've also lived in America as an other (with my background changing depending on who I was talking to and if I agreed with them), so the perpetual foreigner concept really resonated with me. I even returned to my home country for work and the first question any interviewer asked me was if I was there legally. But, that's besides the point, I think you've really touched on an aspect of this film's potential and how it would have resonated with a fairly diverse mix of people. A missed opportunity.

Thank you for another wonderful video. I'm so sorry for the things you went through. I lived in Kentucky for 4 years and people there very flippantly called me the n word or refered to black people as the n word in front of me. People would scream it at me from their cars. I tried to act like it didn't effect me but in reality I became really bitter because of that experience.
