Like if they were white people put in black people’s body why do they work like slaves and act like robots ? As we know the black peoples mind is trapped as only a passanger why would the rich, loved asshole white people who are in charge work like slaves especially because the main one in movie were basically their grand parents? And also why would racist people want to be black ? The only answer i can think of is the plot wasn’t that much thought out and they just ran with it and the people praising this movie does’nt care about plot holes which sucks because these are crucial aspects of this movie . Am i missing something ?

    My theories in order of your questions:

    1. We see them acting like the help only when the MC is (going) to be there. They’re playing their role so he doesn’t get suspicious. I think as soon as he is gone they go back to doing whatever it is rich white people do.

    2. They view the black mind as inferior, but the black body as superior. You can see when they invite everyone over to the auction, they’re very curious about his physical traits and build, but never ask about school or anything like that.

    Idk it’s been a minute and I’m not a critic, but I thought the movie was pretty good.

      For your second point, I’m not sure they necessarily think the black minds are inferior, maybe just that they aren’t using their “blackness” to its full potential. They don’t care about the mind because they can’t take that part.
