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 ?

    Couple things.

    1. I don’t think that the whites-in-blacks worked as servants when there wasn’t an active target on premises. They just wanted to stay around (since they live there, and want to be around family), but needed a reason to be there. The other white-in-black was just a regular dude, right? Until he got flashed?
    2. I don’t think they were racist in the sense of “black people are inferior”, but more “black people are exotic”. Post full-on-racism there has been a rising objectification of black people, in the vein of “once you go black, you never go back” that is dehumanizing of black people in a subtler way than southern belle racism.
