Nice try, but no

Warning: Spoilers
The whole premise of the movie revolves around Leanne and her mother being perceived as 100% white, which they clearly are not. Apart from the light skin, their features were mostly black and it's hard to get past that. It requires a lot of suspension of disbelief. If you're an NBA fan, maybe they should have looked harder for someone who resembles Klay Thompson instead of settling for Stephen Curry.

And what was up with Bayou's baby looking Scandinavian lol? If anything, by his looks it is much more likely that Leanne's husband actually was the father. What made them so sure it was Bayou's? It was never mentioned that Leanne and her husband didn't have sex or something to that effect.

And finally, old Leanne being cast as a very white old lady who looked nothing like young Leanne, and who seemed even older than Hattie Mae, was the cherry on top... Also, a lot of things left unanswered, especially Leanne's rape. Why include that if it's never going to be mentioned again?
