Just when I thought Hollywood could not stereotype and subjugate minorities any further than it already does, it sinks even lower.
In this film, it's the gay boy that's not a good enough dancer and has to forget his dream and leave the big city; it's the Asian girl who fails her grades and is kicked out of the school; it's the black kid that has no father and is angry at the world.
But, surprise-surprise, it's the heterosexual Anglo-Saxon kids that really shine: Oh, and the token female black singer to balance it all out.
