What was interesting is a lot of the Chinese folks were fully aware of the shyt cards black folks were given and there is several of them who said that they found no value in throwing in with black because they were poor and treated badly. They wanted to join in with the dominant group when the chance arose.
But there is also a sizeable amount who dealt with the racism Chinese people face by saying fukk white society, we will just build our own and not bother integrating with white society or black society. I have to respect that to some extent...
But there are also several Chinese people in the film who threw in with black folks and intermarried with them.
Overall it's a good film that give you a raw look at a small part of Southern America.
