"Oh? Then you put them in small groups: Naruko, Leeko, and Kiba are loud idiots. Ino, TenTen, and Saki are pushy idiots, Sasuko and Nejiko aren't idiots but their holier than thou is irritating, Hinata is doable, and Shino is...Shino. Did I forget anyone?"

"Yeah...it takes place in America, earlier when racism was heavier especially in the south...and then some guy gets accused of raping his boss's daughter and everyone thinks he's guilty cause he's African-American, except Scott, I think that's her name, and her father..."
