Cari Wade Gervin is correct that the movie is as much about class as about race. What Cari Wade does not seem to realize is that many of those "rundown, ramshackle houses that the maids live in, those houses that convey poverty in 1962 Jackson" are lived in by whites as much as by blacks. THAT's the reality of Mississippi.
