Full title: In Hidden Figures (2016), NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson complains that she has to walk half a mile to use the colored bathrooms. Her boss responds by getting rid of all colored bathrooms. She now has to hold it in all day. This is viewed as progress.
The actual line from the film:
No more colored restrooms. No more white restrooms. Just plain old toilets. Go wherever you damn well please. Preferably closer to your desk. Here at NASA we all pee the same color.
ETA: you can truncate a lot of scenes to change their meaning. Remember that Braveheart speech that ended with the lines “Fight and you may die, run and you’ll live”? What a terrible way to inspire your troops.
I am not sure if you missed in which community this was posted…
🤦 … Sure did.
Well, I did appreciate the context. This post is quite weird without knowing the original movie…
It’s my favourite bit of the whole film.
He inspired me, I got goosebumps.
