The creative team of HH will most likely never get into this because there’s like ten plots going on, but sometimes I wonder how Husk being a Black man and Angel being Italian affects their dynamic.
Angel comes from a time when Italians were marginalized. But we’re not, anymore. He exists in this really weird area of remembering being the recipient of racism but also benefiting from white privilege after his own death.
I sometimes wonder if him and Husk have ever had conversations about that. How Angel was marginalized for being an immigrant and how that compares and contrast to being a Black man in the early 1900’s. How Angel knows some of the sinners treat him badly for being Italian (Vox), but he still, at the end of the day, is a white man. He’s a white man in death, not life.
Meanwhile, while Nevada didn’t have formal Jim Crow laws like the South did, you’d be kidding yourself if you think that racism didn’t affect Husk in life. He still had to deal with segregation and discrimination, including the casinos he was raised in and eventually frequented.
I just think they’d have some pretty interesting conversations. The weird place Angel is in of being a white man who died before he got the benefits of being a white man. Husk who will never have that benefit. The differences and similarities of how immigrants and Black people are treated in America.
Idk I think it would be neat.
