What culture is portrayed in akeelah and the bee?

Answer #1

Intellectuality???

Answer #2

Note that I am trying to avoid stereotypes and racism here!!

Ghetto vs. High class It’s hard to explain. As you might know there is a racist stereotype that ghetto=black people. Everyone who lives in a ghetto neighborhood is black. I think there’s a subtle message in this movie that says Akeelah should rise above all stereotypes and put-downs because she is smart; intelligence is not based on race. Sorry that doesn’t really answer your question. I tried :-/
