Here’s the synopsis: At six weeks old, Enitan (Idris) is left in the care of a white working-class family in the dock-town of Tilbury, in Essex. His new surrogate mother, Ingrid (Beckinsale), makes for a complex, but a dubious foster parent. Unsure of his place in the world, and lacking a mother’s love, Enitan spirals into self-destruction, falling in with a local skinhead gang, who forces Enitan to learn to loathe his own skin.

Listen. The word "c00n" along with "PAWG" are the most overused and misused words on this site, but he was literally the "Black White Supremacist" from Chappelle's Show.
