This seems to be what the people who have the toughest criticism about the movie and the book fail to recognize. Granted, they probably haven't read the book nor seen the movie.
It's very telling to me that those who actually experienced the era, on either side of the color line, don't seem to be as offended as those who weren't even born during that time. What does that say about what we choose to believe about our history?
