Allochronism 

Denies the simultaneous existence of the ethnographic object and the subject (observer and observed), and thus, represents the placement of the object in another time. Coined by anthropologist Johannes Fabian in "Time and the Other"
The perception of primitive art in the Western context has many moral-aesthetic dilemmas, that upon investigation can help use to understand native aesthetic allochronisms in ourselves and the Other.

Person 2: Nah I'm exhausted after a hard day of activism, my black square got 200k likes!
Person 1: Curse you, allyship fatigue!

Allyahs tend to be smart and nice. They also have an amazing style that everyone wants and copies. They never get into trouble and could be really shy. They feel uneasy around people they don’t know, but once you get to know them, they’re crazy! They could also have a bad temper at times, but they are really loving. They are a boy magnet! You would be lucky if you caught an allyah. They have beautiful hair that is amazing to play with. They also have a smile that can light up the whole room.
Wow, I wish I had Allyah’s style!
I wish I was an Allyah!
