the movie's message is about empathy.. that a white guy who can't catch a break due to affirmative action gets a taste of what its like to walk in a black man's shoes and starts to realize his privilege. i think the problem is that empathy doesn't really extend beyond the movie's universe... like a white guy thinking its all good to make a goofy movie about a white guy in blackface, and playing with a bunch of stereotypes. it's also just not very good.

reminds me of Revenge of the Nerds in that sense. it isn't as problematic as SoulMan on its surface but it's a movie with a message diversity and inclusion filled with cringey stereotypes, where our heroes are peeping toms, and our main hero essentially rapes someone (but was ok because she liked it)
