A quirk of my brain
I was just looking at Yoon Ha Lee's most commented post of 2007 and I've decided to share something which might be unique to my strange little brain.
Specifically, there are times when a character in a TV show or movie is some non-white race, and I *don't even notice* until halfway through or a couple episodes in.
This doesn't happen terribly often, but it's been enough times I can't call it a freak accident.
I also have the kind of brain that might remember the cinematographer and composer of a movie but none of the actors. I recall a media class where I was trying to make a point about a character in The Searchers: that guy ... uh... er... uh... oh, John Wayne.
