he was so desperate for attention, intimacy, anyone giving a fuck that he was sooooo close to overlooking it for ol boy

i didnt even see ol boy as being that bad (race-wise) but just overall being typical journalistically opportunistic...it wasn't really until the party that i was full-blown upset with dude...he wanted his story, he thought he found a source and had multiple ways to motivate him too

i feel like that was a misguided move plot-wise too...the only properly race aware person can't be the TA that's boning his mulatto student lol

i feel like some of the white characters were mishandled a bit but other than that...i thought the majority of the characters were complex enough and the lack of a tidy resolution was apt
