A short lesson on what counts as ‘unsophisticated’ or not
I saw this picture of @JohnBoyega with his mom and it touched me in a lot of ways. Personally i know a lot of people who wouldn’t upload any picture with their parents because their “social status” will not allow them to be seen with their “unsophisticated” parents. pic.twitter.com/UhoP96bp8H

After that interesting opinion, another Twitter user debates:
Wait, his mother is “unsophisticated” because she has tribal marks? I must be unsophisticated too. This post actually smells. https://t.co/bGD4CHoYzu
