If the roles were reversed yet again, or if the roles had not been reversed in the first place, this movie would still be unrealistic. I can accept that all of the white people were poor and all of the black people were rich if the movie is supposed to focus on two specific families and a worse case scenario. But the film doesn't even do that right. Black people in Louis' situation would not necessarily be so unkempt and rude at work (check the scene when he was fired). They wouldn't be so irrational either. White people have come up with much more unfair/racist reasons to fire blacks than accusing them of peeping. The movie showed white people being inferior. What it should have done was show that white people weren't inferior but that they were still being treated as such. THAT would be realistic and meaningful. The movie is simple and offensive. The stereotypes and the portrayals are weak. The concept of role reversal might have potential, but White Man's Burden does not do that concept justice.
