[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the most unshocking thing I've ever read. The "adoption" itself was so bizarrely, narcissistically Texan (I say that as a Texpat) -- "I want to help a poor, downtrodden black kid *so long as he's a sports phenom and my football booster club needs him* and take him into my home to prove I'm a nice white lady!" . . . and then to make a movie about it, where you're the literal White Savior, and not realize how crazy stupid you look by doing it in the first place, and getting Hollywood Paid (TM) for it in the second place?? Adoption is complicated enough without the level of tokenism and "look at my extreme commitment to high school football, aren't I a hero" that is going on in this family. So yeah, not surprising at all. Feels like the necessary if predictable coda to that film, in all honesty.[/quote] AMEN![/quote]
