Ryan severely abused a black woman, earlier, then had to ask a favor of one. Later, in a rather ridiculous but interesting contrivance, he saved the life of the woman he previously abused--at great risk to his own.
Greek tragedies also have a strong POV, it's how the artist conveys the message, not the message itself. Hmmm. Boston isn't exactly known as an outpost of racial harmony as I remember from my years there with the racial taunting at high school football games; Southie was known as a very dangerous place for a black guy to be after dusk---just like certain areas in the more maligned Deep South.
