Part of the larger societal problem where non white children are adultized super early from american black children to middle eastern victims of imperialism and colonialism.

Yeah Amandla Stenberg, the black actress who was 12 when she was in the Hunger Games movie, was being asked what it was like to play a child with all the bad stuff happening, like how she made herself act like a child, and she replied “I am a child” , from the interviewer’s reaction you could tell they were caught off guard, and weren’t thinking of the fact that she was actually 12

That’s Mack, considering she looked like this during that period of time.

I can no longer find it. However, around the time, it was a big deal that she was black, even though they are described as such in the book, and social media was going crazy about SJW shit, and after that interview released it was spread all over the place to demonstrate the point of her being the target the of racism, even when it may not have been intentional. I know about it because several youtubers at the time played it in their videos to make broader points.
If i can find one of the videos that has the clip I will post that if i never find the interview again.
