Kayla and Dereck sit at the restaurant planning their wedding.
Slide: 2
Just warning you, my family wants to be involved in planning the wedding.
Slide: 3
Dereck's sister takes Kayla to try different hair styles for her wedding.
Slide: 4
Exit 51
Why are we going so far?
Slide: 5
Of course! I can't wait for their help!
Well I did research and we're at hair stylist that works with your type of hair.
Where are we?
Slide: 6
I appreciate you trying to be inclusive but why did we travel so far and why are we in such a sketchy part of town?
Well I just figured that more people of your... race... live over here so I went directly to this part of town when looking for a hair stylist.
Slide: 7
You do realize that there are plenty of places that can do my hair that are much closer to home...
I guess I just made an assumption based on what I've seen in the media.
Slide: 8
I wonder what other things this family believes.
Slide: 9
How was trying out hair styles with my sister?
Well, I guess you can say she tried her best to be nice.
Slide: 10
What happened...
Oh let's just say she's seen one too many inaccurate movies.
Slide: 11
I'm a little lost...
Don't worry about it.
Slide: 12
Okay... are you sure?
Yes
Slide: 13
Do you want to go play basketball with my family tomorrow?
I'm not very good... but sure!
Slide: 14
Dereck's mom and dad join Kayla and him for basketball.
Slide: 15
Kayla you must be really good at basketball! I'm so excited that you agreed to come play with us.
Slide: 16
Oh don't be humble, we know you probably love this sport.
I don't think I'm that athletic but thanks?
Slide: 17
Look here, catch!
Slide: 19
BOOM!
Slide: 20
ARE YOU OKAY?
Slide: 21
Oh no... I think I know why she's upset and I would be too.
I'm not even upset because I got hit in the head.
Slide: 22
We were just trying to find things that you would like to do with us.
You guys made an unnecessary assumption about her instead of just asking what she enjoys doing.
You guys made an assumption about me being good at basketball based on the way I look.
Slide: 23
I'm sorry. I guess I just assumed you would enjoy this because I always see people who look like you when watching basketball and athletics on television.
Slide: 24
Mom, I think our family's attempts at being progressive are unfortunately racist because you've formed certain assumptions based on what the media tells you.
In all honesty we are trying to be progressive and inclusive people.
Slide: 25
I'm assuming that the other day my sister made certain assumptions too and this is all harmful. In the act of attempting to be progressive, people can be even more racist. This can be done when signaling out someone, like you guys did, or making assumptions about an entire community that simply are not true.
Slide: 26
We are both extremely sorry.
It is fine, just moving forward this family needs to take after your son and needs to learn the correct ways to be inclusive.
Slide: 27
Kayla realized that even though Dereck's family has a lot to learn, her fiancé stood up for her and that meant she has found the right person.
