this is such a bizarre thing 😯

i just can’t imagine the cultural shock for someone black migrating from the united states in the great depression era to the soviet union in the 1930s… there have definitely been and definitely currently are bigger cultural gaps in the world, but they’re mostly on the axis of human development, like for example modern humanity vs uncontacted tribes that have lived in isolation for tens of thousands of years, but this is different in an interesting way

also while watching the whole thing, with some people I couldn’t shake this very weird feeling, not quite sure how to describe it… it’s like a discrepancy between the person’s appearance and their demeanor, language, mimics… probably because I have until now exclusively seen caucasian and asian people of this culture
