The Future of Horror for People of Color

I think we should be moving past the idea that you must watch a character be brutally tortured and murdered or killed in order to empathize with them. We can empathize with Chris and understand how messed up of a situation he just escaped from or just survived without needing to see him die. That may not translate necessarily into everyday life, but it is something that's been really interesting to watch in film. And partially why I think representation in film and media is so important for so many people is that it validates your existence in this country. It also validates like your horrific experiences in this country and with this country.
