This man is amazing. I would like to play in a movie, if they ever made one about him. But I can’t play him. Because I am not black. I am brown. And so is he, technically. But not technically enough.

I want to tell my friends that I want to play him. But then I’ll have to explain myself, as I often do, for my deep desires. They will point out the discrepancies of age and sex and, of course, color.
