Connie can bring clothes
and I have clothes.

I just hope that they take
this project seriously

'cause osteoporosis is not a joke.

Like my grandmother had it
and devastated my father.

He hasn't really been the same.

Hey, Butt Lords.

- What are you doing?
- Shuji, go away.

We're working on,
like, a serious project. Hello!

Hey, Shuj.

What up?

Hey, Evan.

- Hey.
- What's up with you?

We... we was gonna go see Cast Away again?

I like your hair today.



Um, my mum wanted me to give this to you
before we left. Um...

Don't flick me off!

Bye, Evan.

- OK, do you, um...
- Your brother is fine.

Anna, stop, that's disgusting.

Uh, stop! OK, did you bring the snacks?

Hell yeah!

- Gushers, cheetos.
- Perfect.

Just like you requested.

Thanks for, like coming over, you guys.

We had to for school, obviously.

- Oh, yeah, of course, yeah.
- Yeah, obviously.

So...

Is anyone hungry?

- You guys hungry, or like...
- Um...

Anna?

Like...

No, don't... No.

- Do you, like, have more food?
- No.

That's not possible.
Uh, can I check the fridge?

Actually my brother
ate everything we have,

so, like there's nothing in there.
Literal... There's...

It's just on the right.

Ew!

Why is there fish heads in here.
Close it! Close it.

Maya, have you any ham?

No, do you want me to buy some?

No, it's like...
it's like an inside joke.

- Yeah, OK.
- Never mind, I'm not hungry anymore.

Should we, like, start the project

- or... We'll start. OK. Get the clothes.
- Yeah, we'll do it, you guys, so...

Um, if you want to choose, like,

- Spice Girl outfits to be Spice Girls.
- Oh, yeah.

Let's just pick
from what Connie and I brought.

- Yeah.
- Oh, good idea.

So, just to go over it, you guys,
so, we're the old Spice Girls

and we, like, can't sing or dance
'cause we have osteoporosis

so, we need milk, so, that we...
And then we drink and we get strong

and then we'd fight dance...

OK. I'm Baby.

- I'm Posh.
- I want to be Posh.

- Baby.
- Ginger.

- I'm Sporty then.
- OK.

OK. I'm Baby. Steve's Ginger,

Anna's Sporty, and Connie's Posh.

Wait, I called Posh.

My name is Posh and I go to Chanel.

- But you look the most like Scary.
- She does.

Do you have,
like a Sporty outfit, or...

This I guess could be Sporty's.

- No, I do.
- Stevie, look.

- Look...
- No.

Guys, did you see that? Guys, guys,

- you all... OK.
- That literally touched my face.

- Touched my face.
- Guys, stop.

We're about to record.

So, we have the definition in the dance
but who's gonna bring us milk.

- Not it.
- Not it.

- Maya's it.
- I said "Not it" before all of you.

I'll do it.

No it's funny if Maya plays

- the servant and brings us milk.
- Yeah.

Wait, why do I have to be the servant?

Because you're like different from us.

Like, so, were the Spice girls,
and you are the servant

'cause you're like tan.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, okay that's funny.

- No, like, hunch over more.
- Yeah, like, you're old.

Like bent.

- You got to go lower. Hunch over.
- Like lower.

- Like this is not funny.
- Yeah.

Who wants some milk?

Guido! Guido, bring me some milk!

Who's Guido? What's Guido.

Maya's Guido The Gardener
because he's Mexican and she's tan.

Tan!

Guido, do you want the milk?

- Get it, get it? Me want milk...
- Ew! Don't touch us.

You're dirty.

Guys, lets start.

- OK, yeah.
- OK, get in line.

I know. Sorry.

- Sorry.
- OK.

What are you doing? No, you're recording.

Yeah. Guido!

- No, I'm...
- You're on camera duty.

- Yeah.
- I can record. I'll record.

- No, no. Let her do it.
- OK.

Get back...

- I can do it.
- It's... Just push the button.

- I know what button it is...
- She knows.

You guys.

We're the old Spice Girls
and we have osteoporosis.

A condition where,
um, your bones almost crack

because you didn't get your vitamins.
Got milk?

Ooh, I'm so old.

Ooh, my back.

Oh, thank you.

- Five, six, seven, eight. One...
- Five, six, seven, eight.

And then it's kind of doing this
at the end.

Yeah, like this. Yeah.

But it was like,
sometimes it looked like this,

but it was...

it was so fun.

And we filmed it, on... And it was like,

- Stevie, Jessica, Connie. Yeah.
- Oh, my God,

actually Maya did this

- really funny character...
- No.

- For that...
- I'm not doing it.

It was so funny.

I'd want to see it.

OK. I'll do it.

- OK. It's really funny, but it was like...
- So funny.

- It's like...
- They made me do it,

and I, like, didn't know what I was...
uh, I'll do it. OK. Like...

Oh, Guido, you want
the milk for you... I make the cake.

Oh, my God.

- It's like...
- OK, you racist.

- It's not racist.
- They were, like, joking. I don't know.

Wait, did... did you
just make fun of Mexicans?

I wasn't... I didn't say I was Mexican,

like, they told me I was

- and it was like a joke.
- So, wait, wait, wait. So...

In this video project,

you play servant

and you're serving all your white friends?

Hmm-hmm.

And she put a blanket
over Ojichan's shrine.

You don't mess with Ojichan's shrine.

I didn't.

- I just didn't want to scare them.
- Oh, my God.

Why are you so ashamed of being Japanese?

I'm not.

I'm like barely Japanese,
and I'm cool with it.

Guido is fucked up, too.

Watch your language.

Mom? What?

Anna, you are more fucked up
for making her do that.

Mom?

Good job, racists.

As a great beacon light of hope,

the greatest demonstration for freedom

in the history of our nation.

It came as a joyous daybreak

to end the long night of their captivity.

"Brings attention

to reality that teenagers
are in denial about."

Oh, dude!

- I just caught a Psyduck!
- OK.

You're such an idiot.

- Let's see it.
- I got you. I got you so good.

You do this every single time.

Dude, it's like it's two time.

It's not funny.

I get you every time.
It's always funny.

Can we help you?

No, can I help you?

Oh, we don't...
we don't speak Japanese.

Me neither.

No!
God, you're paying for that.

Hi. Um, is the principal here, please.
It's important, please.

The principal isn't in right now.

Is there something I can help you.

Um, yeah, actually
I... I've been noticing some, um...

racism in society

and I would like to report it.

OK, kiddo.

- Oh, Principal Ravage.
- Ah.

Um, I just have a quick thought for you.

- Um...
- Yeah, uh-huh. Sure. What?

Um, I've been noticing
a bit of a pattern in this school

- which is, um...
- Mm-hmm.

Um, racism.

And also separate se-segregation.

And I just think it needs fixings, so...

Uh-huh. Well, thank you
for bringing this to my attention,

Anna,

but I can't tell kids
who to spend time with.

And I hear that. I really do, but...

actually asked Jeeves last night
for some ideas.

And I'm thinking of like a demonstration
or something, you know, like...

they do organize drunk driving scenes

to show kids,
like why not to drink and drive,

and I think we can do like the same thing.

Uh, you know what? I hear you,

but these tend to work themselves out.

Sometimes they don't
and you need a demonstration.

OK.

Great.

I guess it's up to me, you dick.

Wake up!

So, it'll just be kind of a favor,

um, and it wouldn't interfere
with drama rehearsal after school at all.

It actually be like...

now-ish.

Um...

So, yeah? Just see,
you think of this as a script

and if you're him...

Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi!
- Hey, darling.

- Hi, how are you?
- I'm OK.

I don't know, I'm just a little like...

- blah, after last night.
- Yeah.

I know what you mean, it was crazy.

- Yeah, it was just weird.
- It's kind of eye-opening for me.

- Yeah, yeah.
- And I'm sorry.

And I got a little something
for you later.

What do you have?

- OK, party people...
- A surprise?

Today we're talking
about the late Thomas Jefferson.

What do we know about the great TJ? Yes.

Yeah, he's dead.

That is true. OK.

Yes. Gabe again.

Uh, he loves grilled bananas.

I don't think that's true, Gabe.

Bless you.

You don't know what I know.

OK, I do know
that he was a Founding Father.

What...

He was a disgusting slave owner.

Maya is Japanese.

That's so weird.

Yeah, that is weird. I bet she eats...

I bet she eats all kinds of gross foods.

Fish-heads. Ew!

No, I don't.

And this, you guys has been
an example of racism.

And I would just like everybody
to acknowledge that

- and I see that happening in our school...
- I am Japanese.

So, um, where was I?

- I was just saying that in America...
- Maya, me love you long time!

- You sound Jamaican...
- OK.

That's not part of this.

Hey, Lucy Liu,
can I get a $5 hand-job?

You're Japanese?
No shit, Maya, I'm American.

- Her eyes are always closed.
- Hey, hey,

what's going on here?

Everyone, everyone,
get back to your classes.

What's going on?

Someone put this on my locker.

Who is responsible for this?

Well, it's...

Seriously?

Oh, Miss Kone, come on, come on.

We're going to wait in here
till Mr. Ravage comes.

- Maya, it was...
- We're going to have to call your parents,

you know, that was a hate crime.

- It...
- Come on, come on, get in there.

Be quiet and sit down.

I thought they were friends.

Anna.

- Kone.
- Mom.

She is my best friend

and her name is Maya

and just so you know

the only reason I did that
was to bring attention because

Becca and Stevie and Connie
were treating her differently.

All right.
Let's not point the finger, all right?

This is about you and all this racism.

Honey, I taught you this, no?

- I'm disappointed.
- That's what I'm trying to say.

I'm trying to bring
attention to the issue.

Don't be a know it all. You're 13.

I... I think, uh, some...

major apologizing is in order.

See, this is why she doesn't take
anything seriously.

- Why?
- You just want her to apologize

go through the motions of apologizing

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
and then you're gonna go home

and you'll watch
The Simpsons with her later.

- The point is, then she doesn't learn...
- What's wrong with The Simpsons?

To take it seriously.
Jesus fucking Christ, Curtis.

- Mom, we're in school, you can't say...
- Who gives a fuck?

OK, uh, I wanna thank you both...

so much for coming down here today.

And as for you, Miss Kone,
I will see you in detention.

I'm not eating.

I'm not eating until racism is over.

You're going on a hunger strike
like Gandhi?

- What?
- Oh, for heaven sakes.

Geez, dummy.

What happened?

Nothing.

Come on. Lets' go.

Here you all go.

You know what?

Take a nice long look at yourself,

and your bigotry.

It's your problem.

Anybody else, anybody else wanna test me?

- Boom, bitch.
- Suck my pubes, bitch.

- Yo, what up, Shuji?
- What's up?

What's up, Shuj?

Um, welcome to the park.

Yo, this is my sister, Maya.

Yo, what up, Maya?

What's up, Evan?

- Let's sit down.
- So...

Some fucked up shit happened to her today.

Someone wrote "I'm Japanese" on her locker

and a bunch of kids
called her a dirty Jap.

Yo, that's fucked up.

This is Andy Kim. He's in my grade.

What's up?

Yo, you're trying to hit this, though?

- This tree is hella tight, dawg.
- Yeah, let's do it.

Yo, Maya, you wanna hit this?

- Hey, yo!
- No, wait.

I'm just kidding.

- Hey, yo, she never hit a pipe though.
- Yes, I have.

Like freaking dank faded all the time.

Oh!

Um, you know what?
On second thought I feel like...

I normally would, but I just,
during school, like shouldn't.

- You know?
- Staying sober for school.

I respect that.

Uh, Shuji, you wanna hit this?
- Yeah. All right.

Oh, God. Hey, Koney.
Why aren't you at lunch?

Honey-baked ham day.

I'm just kind of busy,
like fixing the school.

Oh, well, actually
that's not really a bad idea

to take a look at yourself
especially when you

think something's everybody else's fault.

OK.

Have you seen Maya?
She's, like, mad at me or whatever.

Uh, sweetie pie, why don't you sit down
and have some lunch.

You don't seem like yourself today.

I'm on a hunger strike
until racism is over.

Oh. Uh, you... you want half of this?

Because that other thing's

gonna take a sec.

What kind is it?

It's... It's kind of a meat.

Ham. There might be cheese in it.

- Just keep it. Just keep it.
- No, no. It's OK. I'm good.

I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.

- Yeah, right.
- Thanks, Jan.

Why'd they switch out Aunt Viv?
Think about it.

She got that lighter skin, that's right.

Yo, Maya needs justice, man.

She needs to, like,
put her racist ass friend in check.

She's not really
that racist, she's like...

a good person.

No, that shit that she said to you

was some of the most fucked up stuff
that I've ever heard.

I bet my sister doesn't even know
what racism is.

That is such bullshit. Yes, I do.

It's like when you're mean to people

'cause of their skin color
and like lynch them.

No, it's not always as obvious as that.

Yeah, Maya, think about it.

Use your head.

- Do your parents own the cleaners?
- You look dirty.

When did you immigrate here?

I've never met
an oriental before.

- Say something in Chinese.
- Konnichiwa.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- What the fuck, dude.

- Come on.
- What? It's disgu...

Ah!

Sorry, it happens sometimes.

You see now.

You got to speak up for yourself.

Yeah.

You got to beat up your friend.

Yeah.

Hey, let me hit that.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Hey, no...

- Don't... Maya!
- Fucking... Jesus.

Let's do it.

I have to beat you up.

I'm gonna eat you up.

I'm gonna beat your ass now.

I'm gonna eat your ass.

Hello, 'Na.

May.

Hey, 'Na.

I...

- Do it.
- I, uh...

- I have to beat your white ass up...
- White ass up.

Now.

Follow me, bitch.

OK.

Oh, yeah, you got this, Maya.

Yeah, come on.

They want you to really punch me, so...

Stand up for yourself.

Go!

Come on! Get angry.

Hit her.

Yeah.

- Go!
- I can't believe you fucking did that!

I was trying to help.

By telling everyone I'm Asian.

They already freaking know. Am I right?

I know, I mean, duh,
like I know I'm Asian,

- but I'm more than that.
- I know and that's what I was trying to

- say, like...
- Yeah.

You just shouldn't hide it
and I just thought that I was...

celebrating your heritage.

That is so easy for you to say.
You don't know what it's like to be me.

You're right. I don't. You're right.

OK, and I wanna choose
which Spice Girl I'm gonna be.

I know, you... you should.

And I should've told them
that you are Posh Spice.

- I should've, OK?
- Yeah, yeah.

And Guido's fucked up.

I don't wanna punch you.

I don't want you to punch me either.

Please.

Yeah, you punch that racist.

Hit her.

- Five...
- Six...

- Seven...
- Eight...

What the hell is this?

- Boo!
- Boo!

It's not fighting.
You guys are hugging.

Let's get out of here.

They don't even know how to do it.

Like, I feel like
I was going so much harder...

- That guy...
- He got so freaked out.

Are you sure, like,
that I didn't hurt you at all?

I was, like, rough

and tumble.

It's crazy. Ma... Ow!

You know that scares me.

Hey, Shuji.

What's up?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

And I know that you probably hate me now
and I understand why.

I knew she wasn't gonna hit you, so...

That's a lie.

- I was so freaking... I was like...
- Maya.

I was like...

Dude, your Japanese is so bad.

No, it isn't.

- That's so mean.
- I have no idea what you guys are saying

but I just literally love you.

I'm Posh.
Thank you all for coming tonight.
