White Savior Trope!


Do white people even teach white kids anymore?


Remember when Barry told Iris that Wells threatened to kill her? Me neither.

ummm. If you did the research you would now that this actually based upon a true story that happened the directors life. Great way to make race an issue in such a positve light hearted film.

When the majority of inner city films revolving around schools feature a kindly white person, typically female serving among poor black kids, I'm going to notice. The fact is, most White teachers get to the suburbs as soon as they can. Most poor black kids in the inner city have black teachers. I'd like to hear their stories.

Go make the movie you'd like to see instead of complaining about how stories aren't being told the way you like them to be. And in this case, A TRUE STORY.

Sorry that someone didn't live this scenario the way you wanted them to. No one is stopping you from writing your own story your way and making your own movie.

Instead, I will avoid the movies and encourage others to do the same. I hope this film is a critical and financial failure.

Was the white woman this film was based on supposed to pretend she was black just to make some dorks on the internet feel better?

The people that made this movie already got paid. So it doesn't need to turn a profit for them to make money. They already did. The investors on the other hand........it might get a selected city release and do well on demand and DVD rentals. That's the thing about low budget films, they don't need to make a ton of money to break even. And if they do flop no one even notices b/c they are so far under the radar.

So, what you are hoping for isn't even a possibility.

But still, you should write a script based on your boring life so we can complain about it. Maybe you can write a movie about how much time you spend on the Girl Meets World board? I think that would be a great movie.

*EDIT: I hope you didn't spend too much time on your reply, I blocked you shortly after my post. So I hope you aren't smiling too hard in your mom's basement thinking you've won something.

It has to make a profit if she hopes to bring other stories to the big screen. Studios don't like to lose money, they like to make money. Also, if actors are in films that flop, it ruins their career. I really hope this film flops like a fish on the beach in the middle of summer.

It's time for whites to stop supporting these films and seeing minority children as dependent on them for help.

Did you even see the movie?

She gets her ass handed to her for trying to pull the white savior shtick.

If you did the research...


Why would anyone on the internet do research? Unlimited knowledge within seconds? NO THANKS!

It shouldn't matter what colour their skin is I saw 2 good people develop a friendship threw a bumpy time in their lives. In fact in my view the girl helped the teacher see what her path was more than the other way.
