Flirtin' and Skirtin'
Though briefly discussing the "race issue" as Jane calls Robin the "whitest woman in America" racism seems to be a non-issue as they quickly become close friends. The mother brings up concerns about Jane being both black and a lesbian but the movie doesn't so much address these topics as it does discuss their friendship and female bond. Even in the court scene Robin says that female friendship trancends lesbian love. Though the racism and homophobia that is involved in the courtroom during Jane's testimony is apparent, it isn't addressed but instead is "remedied" by Robin's testimony. They use a problem solution format rather than discussing at length the binaries. In this way, the movie doesn't address either racism or homophobia as it incists that friendship conquers all.
