The irony is cringeworthy. Who better to create a story that expresses the struggle with racial inequality than Carol L. Black, Steve Miner, and Steve Tisch (3 rich white people)? And they wrap it up with a talk about what the white male lead has learned... (spoiler allert!) He learned he's not black!?!? I learned that Hollywood is not about to hire a black person in an authorship role, but they are not above profiting from insincere whitewashed P. C. pontification and pickaninny jokes.
The lead was declined by Anthony Michael Hall, Tim Robbins, Anthony Edwards, Val Kilmer, and John Cusack. I like to believe that those 5 actors had too much integrity.
