sexual minority

n=1


a: sexual minority ~
b: being a member of a racial minority

What:

"However, central to my argument is that these characters actually do come to be "queered" by the directors' deliberate flashing of racial otherness within the diegesis. Through the use of racial difference as an overriding analogical discourse-in both films the message is that to be white and of a sexual minority is like being a member of a racial minority-these (white) characters' struggles are framed as contributing to a queer political project connected to, yet differentiated from, the Civil Rights and other racial equality movements."
