No my friend, you are wrong in your interpretation. Let me explain it to you from a black person's perspective. The maid had an attitude many blacks had at the time...she felt that Poitier was living 'above' himself by marrying a white woman. It is a subtle form of prejudice that still exists among some black people. If you are not an American black it would be difficult to see and understand. But that's it. Has absolutely nothing to do with the fact the the maid raised her.
@gigijbijbj I'll try to explain it in the Tarzan way xD since english isn't my language. That part wants to show that the nanny (and family also) isn't against the relationship between John and Joey because he's black, the real reason why she's against it is cause that girl, who she took care since she was a little baby, now she's a woman and if she get married she'll leave the house forever! You see she's not against the friendship between the white delivery boy and that black girl
What an ignorant statement. Your premise is simply untrue. Conservative does NOT equate to anything about race. It's about small government and fiscal responsibility. Why did you make it about race? hmmmm?! BTW; This is my favorite movie of all time, and my favorite line is Sidney giving his dad the what-for.
