Racism in the film “Finding Forrester”
Januar 24, 2011 
The film “Finding Forrester” by Gus Vant Sant, which was published in the year 2000, contains some scenes with racist aspects or racist indication. For instance the professor Crawford is angry, that William Forrester is a friend of Jamal and not of him, because he cannot understand why a black guy from the Bronx got such a famous author as a friend. Another scene is the scene, where a man locked his car, when Jamal neared it. So there is another racist prejudice that blacks in the Bronx always steal and make trouble. Moreover most of the white professors at the private school, did not expect that a black like Jamal could have such an ability for writing. So they think that coloured people are actually not able to do extraordinary things like that. There is another scene on the roof top at Claire’s father’s party, in which Claire’s father does not want that Claire starts a relationship with Jamal. Jamal is a black guy from the Bronx, he shall rather play basketball, than to go to private schools and meet white young ladies.
