もう一発英語、というかカルチャーネタ。
Black-ishもようやくcatch-up。んで、ちょっと前のこのエピソード、
これのテーマだったのが"colorism"。白人・黒人間の差別は明確だけど、同じ人種内でも色の濃淡で差別があること。
Discrimination based on skin color, also known as colorism or shadeism, is a form of prejudice or discrimination in which people are treated differently based on the social meanings attached to skin color.[1]
特に黒人の場合、light skin/dark skinの間は微妙な関係にあり、実際昔は
The Brown Paper Bag Test in African-American oral history was a form of racial discrimination practiced within the African-American community by comparing an individual's skin tone to the color of a brown paper bag. The test was allegedly used as a way to determine whether or not an individual could have certain privileges; only those with a skin color that matched or was lighter than a brown paper bag were allowed admission or membership privileges.
ランチ用の茶色紙袋より皮膚の色が濃いか薄いかで差別の対象だったケースがあったんだそう。 うーむ奥深い。
んで、Black-ishに戻るけど、奥さんは実は白人とのハーフでlight skin、旦那はdark skinなところがミソ。家族間でcolorismについて大激論になるんだけど、このドラマ設定をしたプロデューサーは賢い。
