No White Guys Allowed

“Guess who” is a comedy film about race and relations directed by in Kevin Rodney Sullivan in 2005. The movie is about an interracial couple Simone Green who’s played by Ashton Kutcher and Theresa Jones who’s played by Zoe Saldana. She took him home to meet her parents for the first time and planned to reveal to her parents that they are engaged but there is a problem Theresa parents never met Simone and they do not know that he is white. Her father Percy jones who’s played by Bernie Mac dislikes Simone from the first time he saw him walking from the Cab without even trying to get to know he automatically started to judge him because of his race. Both Simone and Theresa faced obstacles with being in an interracial relationship. Simone quit his job because his boss told him not to marry a Black girl. Theresa also struggled with being with a white guy she loved him but she never told her parents that Simone was white because she didn’t want her parents to judge her she was also scared of how society would accept her and Simone as a couple.

One thing that really stock out to me in this movie was the way the black family accepted the White guy in their family people usually think that only whites are Hispanics are against interracial marriage or dating but it is also if not as worse in the Black household. A lot of Black people do not like to see their own with different race. It is bad when a Black woman see a Black guy with a white Woman or Hispanics woman they some go as far as saying that the whites and Hispanics woman are taking all the good black man’s away from them.
