I TOTALLY get where you're coming from, Daughter and agree with you on all points. However, I gotta give Griffin some credit cuz he did not wear makeup -- he risked physically damaging his liver and life by taking a medication that accelerated his skin-darkening to get to his final "Black Like Me" conclusions: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/dead-like-me/

Seems inconsequential to some, but not to me, as he could have died from it.

As for Forster, never heard of him and don't need to...
