I think that this movie would be great for all college students to watch because it really opened my eyes to how one&#8217;s actions can make someone feel. The example that the movie gave of how it is actually offensive to be fascinated by black peoples hair. This is something I never really thought about, but it makes sense that it would make someone uncomfortable to be treated like they are so different, and as the movie stated like a \u201chuman zoo.\u201d I think the most important thing for everyone is just awareness and education.
