Rating:  - Interracial sexism
What does make America being America?
Certainly, it is an ability to see personal serious problems from different points of views, while laughing at them and being at the end of a day proud Americans regardless race, faith and other sometimes troubling sex-life differences.

Rating:  - Colorblind when it comes to Laughter!!!!!
I like this movie. I tell you why. As first you think, wow that is so uncool and very mean spirited way to get a scholar. But at the end of the movie, you see that there was a "moral and a reflection of the cultures." Even though this movie wasn't a true story, we get to see the both sides of the spectrum. I thought this movie has some great parts. Like picking Thomas to be in the basketball team because they thought he was good. The Roll Call of "Right On!" Classic! When he went to the Kitchen without ... Read More
Rating: - Soul Train

Rating: - A Classic!
This is a pure classic. Comedy gold. Everyone is at the top of their game in it, James Earl Jones C. Thomas Howell, Rae Dawn Chong, Arye Gross, a pre-Seinfeld Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The commentary by Steve Miner and C. Thomas Howell is cool and informative. They are bewildered at all the controversy this film caused, and so am I. Because in the 80's, I never heard any controversy about this film, because I was a kid, enjoying it. Anyone that says this film is racist is ignorant, or has no sense of humor. ... Read More
Rating:  - Typical Hollywood Race film
As of this writing I am watching this on HD. Back in the day when this came on cable, I thought that it was foolish because the guy looked more like an Indian(black toom but Asian) than a regular African-American. Seeing it on HD, you see that the make up looks even worse.
This is you typical film in Hollywood designed to not only make fun of black by pretending to teach whites how they feel subconciously about blacks, but it is also an overtly racist film by trying show that a white man was shut ... Read More
