@mynameistillian the same brains that get called “genius” at a young age get called “special needs” if they don’t pass the standardized tests. “Genius” is a construct. It’s society saying “people with weird brains only deserve to be treated with respect if they are exceptionally profitable”

Beautification is just as dehumanizing as demonization.

Having the “right” skin color is one of those tests.
