This article discusses how a particular urban high school genre film depicts a teacher of color as a site of failure for students of color. The depiction here is representative of a larger culture of poverty discourse directed at students of color as well as teachers of color. This work acts as a response to Bulman’s 2005 text, Hollywood Goes to High School, especially the conception of the “outsider as teacher-hero” figure in such films. The depiction of the teacher of color as the failed insider is discussed to contrast the white teacher as hero. Such a discussion of the cultural representation of teachers of color is relevant given the continued stagnation in the number of teachers of color when compared to white teachers, even as the percentage of students of color in U.S. public schools continues to increase.
