I predict racism will never end as ignorance won't either, however I predict the economic growth in parts of the South will best New England in inclusion. The racists will be in the places where it doesn't economically benefit them to change. The South can't play ball with tourists if they come off as inhospitable to any group of folks. Nashville, Houston, Atlanta have learned this and they prosper. I don't recall as many comments made by racist fans making it onto the news as Boston. A result I did not expect when I moved here from the South. I recently visited and the difference in inclusion in the last 10 years made me do a double take. I don't see haad caa newenglaners changin fa nuttin!

this is the movie...Ben has to come back to WORCESTER to help with his ailing dad......he lost his Hollywood career and he has to get a job to try to keep up with child support payments and deal with his awful exwife...add some local color and some snooty locals to humiliate him (ie his old girlfriend from high school pulls up in a BMW or local kids who are asshles etc)
...and in his new job he has to kowtow to "witchy" Dunkins Manager (JLo)....and he keeps getting stuck with the night shift...meanwhile he's taking classes and trying to decide if he really WANTS to take over Dad's business....ultimately he and JLo get stuck in during a Nor'easter and get closer...she tells her own stories and he realizes she is the "other half" he needs to help take over Dad's business because all her toughness can run the business...Maybe his Dad is prejudiced against Hispanics too...we need to add a musical number so JLo can show off a bit too
