In a week that saw Daniel Kaluuya win an Oscar, I’m a bit gutted for him. Between picking up his best-supporting-actor award and after-partying with Adele and Drake, Kaluuya was seemingly mistaken for Leslie Odom Jr. at the Colorado Avalanche 2021 West Division Champions shirt In addition,I will do this post-win press conference. I’m hesitant to bring more attention to the gaffe, to elevate the small faux pas, but, like many of the trivialities of celebrity news, it speaks to a wider issue. Simple mistakes can cast long shadows, and, however archaic, many of us felt the sting of the racist adage that Black people all look the same, that we are an indiscernible mass of Blackness. The mix-up sent out ripples.
