Bullock’s character feels a chill and draws in closer to her husband as they pass Anthony and his friend. Anthony immediately thinks that she made this movement in fear of him because he’s a black man. He continues on, saying that they are in the most lit part of town, surrounded by white people, therefore they should be the ones in fear; then proceeds to highjack the white woman and her husband. Anthony also thinks that buses have windows to show all the minorities who ride public transportation…to humiliate them.
