I give props to this movie for taking on many different aspects of racial discrimination on college campuses in such a direct way. It is unfortunate that the characters, both white and black, are all stereotypes and the dialog sounds forced and preachy. By painting a disturbing yet fake picture of a campus filled with skinheads and overt bigots, this movie brushes right over the more subtle, yet often equally damaging ways unconscious racism affects people who consider themselves unbiased.
