[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 982852, member: 56738"] I ain’t trying to shut down the discussion I just found your post unintentionally funny. About the fried chicken scene... and indeed all the scenes they are a product of it being a period piece and therefore is showing what [I]that[/I] era was like and what African-Americans were facing [I]then[/I]. And I think you’re somewhat missing the point of that scene you know... there is no doubt that Tony was (however minor compared to some of the other characters in the film) racist. You can see this from the first 5 minutes of the film, when he throws the glasses from which the black handymen drank in the bin rather than washing them. By the end of the film I’d argue that, given the journey the two had been on, Tony now sees beyond race. The fried chicken scene is somewhere in the middle (both figuratively and literally) where Tony is starting to see beyond colour but is still conditioned by his being brought up in an era of cultural stereotypes.
