Let me guess you were thinking that i meant Brian should have gone around with his jeans sagging below his arse saying "wagwan blud?"
No thats your etnic stereotype, not mine.
I personally liked Belo and any implication of a white upbringing never crossed my mind when I wanted him to win. My point still stands, you betray your ignorance and lack of imagination by likening Brian to the Uncle Tom archetype simply because he doesn't conform to your narrow minded view of how a black person ought to behave. By your reasoning, I suppose we should frown upon everyone who was raised by adopted parents of a different ethnicity. What great world that would be.
