iirc, the point of the movie is to use people's prejudices against them, and underestimate the white character's basketball skills, because he's actually really skilled, and is a part of a duo who hustle others out of money using those preconceptions to their advantage

One of the greatest movies ever made

They were pretty awful and racist to Billy but I never really thought much about it, its a movie after all.

cmon, in school the black kids always got picked first to play on a team in basketball, even the nerds, which is why the liberals started making teams based on randomness, like count out a number bs
