GRACE from SINNERS: Character Study + Real-World Parallels

In SINNERS (2025), set in the Jim Crow South, race relations are central to the story. Grace—a character from the Chinese community—is a powerful lens through which we can examine both alliance and opportunism. While we see solidarity between Black and Chinese characters, we also see Grace only willing to help when it benefits her. And when things get hard? She’s ready to flee, yet expects the others to fight for her cause.

This dynamic mirrors real-life tensions, especially in Black communities where Asian-owned businesses benefit economically, but don’t always show up when it comes to advocacy.

In this video, we discuss:
🟢 Grace as a representation of selective allyship
🟢 The nuances of transactional solidarity
🟢 Why storytelling like this stirs real-world conversations

Let’s talk about what her character teaches us—not just as writers, but as people navigating systems of race, power, and survival.
