Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- If we weren’t smart, we couldn’t have gotten into this school in the first place, right?Then why do they make it so tough for us? We don’t dress weird. We don’t use a whole lot of slang they can’t understand. We’re not aggressive.
- I think you just described Andy...
- I chose this scene because it is a perfect example of systemic racism and prejudice. The teachers and other students treat Drew, Jordan, and other kids of color differently even if they don't outwardly realize it. Meanwhile, Andy, the class bully, acts this way and doesn't get judged or in trouble, while Drew and Jordan are smart, kind, and respectful.
