Profanity

- They use the "N word" a good amount of times. this is used in the context of the era and the musical itself never condones the use of it.
- The character Velma calls black people "Negros" more often than others and wants to get rid of "Negro day" so it's only white people on TV.

- Segregation is front and centre in this musical a lot of racism which may upset people especially during the protest.
- Despite the heavy topic of the musical the show is actually quite humorous and is a feel good experience.
- This film is set in 1962 when racial segregation was common several instances of this are shown such as a rope separating black and white teens at a dance party, the detention room being full of black students and black dancers only being allowed to perform once a month on a popular TV show the word negro is used during these scenes.
- The song "I know where I've Been " may make viewers emotional especially for those who have experienced racial discrimination.
