In reply to Jasmine.

I'm not saying it's representative of a people; rather that it represents a nationwide problem that threatens said people in particular. Your point about a movie character representing one person does not support the issue presented in the story, as it's argued that black people as a whole are being compared to apes--that is all based on a jacket which is too common an object to be labeled racist in the given situation. That is what my analogy alluded to. It wasn't for validation, as I have no need or want for it. The truth is the truth.
