Like if they were white people put in black people’s body why do they work like slaves and act like robots ? As we know the black peoples mind is trapped as only a passanger why would the rich, loved asshole white people who are in charge work like slaves especially because the main one in movie were basically their grand parents? And also why would racist people want to be black ? The only answer i can think of is the plot wasn’t that much thought out and they just ran with it and the people praising this movie does’nt care about plot holes which sucks because these are crucial aspects of this movie . Am i missing something ?

    Everything Peele.does is a comment on race and racial issues. In no particular order:

    1. A guy mentions black strength and athleticism is superior, and would be incredible with a white brain.

    2. Nobody notices when black people go missing, and nobody looks for them, as shown by the TSA agent friend failing to get help then doing it himself.

    3. They aren’t living as slaves, they’re pretending to be live in groundskeepers while others are around so they can stay with their family.

    4.They newly young/strong people enjoy using their bodies that failed them before the switch, hence the guy running all night.

    1. While the hijacked bodies being lower standing could be a ploy, or a part of their payment for the procedure, I think it’s more likely a jab at racism being so ingrained that black people are looked down on even when they’re white, possibly even by the people that became black.

    2. They choose black people because nobody outside of the inner city neighborhoods they’re taken from would ever recognize them, shown when the main character recognizes the guy at the party.

    Nothing the director does isn’t on purpose
