It was awesome. Their assumptions led to hilarious actions. The movie also showed that racism is not only white people . . . | |

About The Color Of Friendship
In 1977, two girls from opposite sides of the world come together and change each other's lives. Young, white Mahree Bok (Lindsey Haun) lives in apartheid South Africa with her wealthy family. Piper Dellums (Shadia Simmons), the daughter of a black U. S. congressman in Washington, D. C. , prepares to welcome Mahree to the U. S. for a semester abroad. Mahree is surprised to find her host family is black, and Piper is stunned that Mahree is white. Each will have to question the assumptions she had.
