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 ?

      There’s a lot of things in the OP, but I’ll just mention the two big things you might have missed in the movie about race relations.

      1. racists can root for teams that have black athletes because they see the athletes as props moreso than people. There are definitely racists who root for basketball teams.

      2. the white people who inhabited black bodies weren’t living as slaves. The examples I remember were:

      The grandmother: She was cooking a lot because that’s what she liked doing beforehand.

      The grandfather: he was running because he missed being able to run when he was younger. He also was chopping wood at night. I don’t think that’s something that would’ve been easy for him with old arthritic bones. If you’re capable of doing yard work, it can be fun to do.

      LaKeith Stanfield’s body snatcher: he stole a black man’s body to date the wife he had when he was white.
