BelindaK Writing this again on this page, so more people are aware of what is happening in this movie&it's series: Disgusting, vile, and racist. The world is so upside down. We are taught to be accepting, kind, and never judge others because of the color of their skin. Unfortunately, All over America, it is ACCEPTABLE to be A RACIST,IGNORANT member of Society because of the color of your skin. The Privileged few who feel the need to spread hatred and discrimination wherever they go and are free to do so because it is Socially acceptable due to our history.This is a prime example. God forbid if a White person did this to a Black person or an Asian person, etc. There would be NO chance this would be allowed to be a show or shown on TV. Instead, because they aren't white, they are given a Pass to behave in this manner. Disgusting. Is this is what we are teaching our kids? America,STAND UP AND STOP THE RACISM AGAINST ALL. NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BEHAVE THIS WAY. NO ONE SHOULD GET A PASS TO BE RACIST. ENOUGH OF ALLOWING THIS TO FLOURISH! If this was a "DEAR BLACK PEOPLE" movie and white's behaved in this manner, I'm sure all you positive reviewers would NOT BE HAPPY OR SUPPORTING IT- UNDERSTANDABLY.TAKE A MINUTE&REFLECT ON WHAT YOUR MORALS&VALUES ARE,IF YOU THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE!

Vic Gear I found that it is rather evident that people who have rated this low, have not given this show much more than a five minute watch. It quite explains the reason for the title, in the last few minutes. It shows that the reason it's alright for this sort of joking, is because well...Watch the show and you'll find out. I rather enjoyed this episode, it proved powerful at the end.The story writing as a whole, is decent. It shows potential for character growth, and folks looking to watch it should give it a thorough go, vs an angry opinion based on the title alone. It goes to show, that racism is alive folks. And no, this isn't a show that is somehow "reverse racist" (because in honesty, that makes no real sense...wouldn't that be the reverse of racism in general? And a good thing?)

sleepycatfarm I'm Caucasian American and not at all racial toward someone for their skin color. I resent the generalization of this title. Just because I'm 'white' doesn't mean I'm racial. I was raised 'red, yellow, black or white; they are precious in his sight'. Truthfully, it makes me want to end my relationship with Netflix. I feel sick to my stomach that the line has been so blatantly drawn without even watching the series. Signed, Disappointed

frenchjuice The most intriguing aspect of this film is not the film itself but the public's reaction to it. From multiple message boards I saw questions like if this is racist, a new Do the Right Thing, or if this film is even needed. From there it is clear that this film is doing something right. A great film does not try to make you agree with the issue but it raises the correct questions. It does not matter the answer the viewers got from the film as long as the viewers are asking the questions. After this film I too asked a lot of questions about race, and not about black cultures but of all different ones. The film does a really good job of balancing the four main characters, and while sometimes the characters seem more stereotypical, there are also couple of quirky aspect there as well that balances it out. Tessa Thompson as Sam White is the centrepiece of the movie, and she excels in her job as she does not overshadow the other characters but often compliments them. Lionel Higgins played by Tyler James Williams plays a very lovable character that faces not one, but two different prejudices. However in the film his skin colour dominates his sexual orientation making this feel more like a gimmick than a fully realized character sketch. Kyle Gallner as Kurt Fletcher and Teyonah Parris as Coco Conners rounds off the main characters and they too felt authentic in their role. Kurt's subplot with his father was very real but Coco's problem about wanting to be white felt so superficial. There is a lot of quirky shots as well, and for the first ten minutes I was hooked by it's use of documentary style shots of the various campuses throughout the school. Unfortunately the unique style dissipates after a while, and the film whilst beautiful filled with unique shots never goes back to the quirky, almost meta style it had before. I wish that the level of ingenuity remained throughout the movie. Overall the movie is fun and has different styles to keep you entertained and in the end you will want to ask all the right questions while leaving with very different answers.
