I observed the situation as a revelation for the African-American men that they may not have realized before, whether they were poking fun at it or not. Realistically, in Mississippi, Indians may have been the first “other” minority that the African-Americans were ever able to observe living among white people. Dimitri and Tyrone did understand that their experiences were different than Indians, but at the same time it seemed as though they connected as minorities.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07240844348063430809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763834534957201894.post-41236259223728463002007-03-07T21:15:00.000-08:002007-03-07T21:15:00.000-08:00i agree that the stereotyping is what drives the p...i agree that the stereotyping is what drives the plot; however, i got the feeling that the african-americans were patronizing the indian man who they knew was worried that they were going to sue him. that scene made me think that while they agreed verbally that "colored is all the same as long as you're not white", in actuality the Dimitri and his friend understood that their experiences, when contrasted to the indians', were not the same. what do you think?Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045926864314492202noreply@blogger.com
