I have both in my family; my mom wants to get it, is in the target range/demographic, signed up for it, and is awaiting notification as to where/when she can get it. My aunt/her sister, who is a year or so younger, is all “you don’t know what they’re putting in that stuff!” and probably won’t.

I’m half black, but quite a few white people assume I just have “a great tan”. When I point out my heritage, I also get a lot of “okay but you’re not *really* black”. And this is in the 21st century, speaking to supposedly progressive white people.
