I already saw a rewrite of this.
Racially insensitive actor Ben Affleck – and the next big-screen “Batman” – recently gave an interview to Playboy. His own bias against black people, he admits, prevents him from fully enjoying a black actor’s performance. “It’s ... hard, said Affleck, “to get people to suspend disbelief.”
Affleck said: “When I watch a black guy, part of me thinks, I probably wouldn’t like this person if I met him, or we would have different opinions. That (bleep) fogs the mind when you should be paying attention and be swept into the illusion.”
I like your take on this. Sometimes substituting words reveals a lot. :>}
