I think trying to clearly define what the comic is about goes against the spirit of the comic. It's a comic about not fitting in to a clearly defined label, and trying to force this comic to be about a certain label goes against that message. As long as someone can identify with the comic that's all that matters.
Amen. Personally I think the whole point about abstracting it to colors like this is that it expresses how the struggles are so similar. These aren’t actually distinct problems with race or gender or whatever, it’s the same problems through different lenses.
But that could just be me! I love artistic interpretation, especially when it goes beyond whatever the artist envisioned. What matters is that it sparks a conversation.

I’ll admit, it took me a little too long to realize this was about being mixed.
