[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw it.  I found it hard to believe Tessa would pass for white.  It took me out of the movie for that reason.

I too would like to read more about people who m successfully “passed” as white.  [/quote]

Paula Patton or Rashida Jones would have been more believable in the role.  [/quote]

Apparently, that was the entire point.  People see what they want to see.  White people see what they want to see.  They wanted to see the main character as a white women.  Tessa only passed with her hat low in the restaurant.

That's why many black people who passed pretended to hate other black people.  They new that they could see that they were black.

There was a really interesting story about a Jewish woman who thought she was white her entire life.  Turns out that her mother had an affair with a black guy.  Her parents just told her that one of her grandparents was from Italy so her skin was more olive.  As soon as she went to college and met black people, they immediately told her she was black.  It's a crazy story, but a true one.[/quote]
