the white boyfriend

I really dislike him, he came across as smug, arrogant, bratty, & self-entitled. What lily secluded world did he live in that when a couple of gangsters in a car harass them from afar, you get into a verbal squabble with them? Unless you're looking for a fight - a beating/gun/knife fight - you don't engage these guys and escalate it. What did he think was going to happen if he gave them some lip? He should've listened to Jesse who was from the neighborhood. And when Jesse told him quietly to get the car, he had this stupid blank ignorant face like asking "why?" - lol.

Afterwards in the hospital, he isn't shown to have had any remorse to what he instigated, and yes, he was part of it: anyone in their right mind unless looking for a fight knows you don't engage in any verbal sparring with stupid homophobic gangsters. His mother was equally insufferable as well.

Also, why do many films always show male homosexuals to be promiscuous, loose, or sexually wild? 2 young boys enter a gay club where they overtly kiss and dance half naked or is this just the cultural scene for Americans?

And in a way I agree with the father, I don't see the white boyfriend and Jesse ending up together or lasting very long. The father clearly has issues given his background but I think eventually he will come around. Whether he likes it or not, in the end, he will be there for his son. Unlike the boyfriend or the mom, they will move on and he will have others, but family is family.
