Since it seems perfectly acceptable in Hollywood to make film after film about white teachers "reforming" black students, a.k.a. the plot of the new Hilary Swank movie Freedom Writers and Dangerous Minds before that, Guy and I came up with a few of our own ideas.
At the risk of sounding racist or at least horribly un-p.c., our first movie is called The Bravest Mulatto. It's a heartwarming tale of the students at Lincoln High, where there's lots of racial rivalry. Then the mulatto comes (possibly a mulatto teacher) and feels like he is on both sides. He unites the groups. Then they win the basketball championship. It has all the ingredients of a box-office success.
The sequel is called The Minorities That Could. Same school, different group of students. It goes straight to DVD.
Fame & fortune, here we come!
*Watch for our other feature films involving white ballet dancers falling in love with black hip-hop dancers. Apparently this is another genre, if you can call it that, where there's no shame in making the same movie twice and calling it two different things.
