a) poor black male and rich white girl?

What other combination would you find plausable that would work in this story?

The idea of upper class mobility NOT precluding racism was an essential part of that story; it provided food for thought at a time when some African Americans (albeit very few in the late sixties) were beginning to break out of the rigid social class structures. The movie may seem dated in some aspects, but the essential elements hold true whether they make you feel uncomfortable or not.
