language
There is strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker', 'c**ksucker'), as well as milder terms (for example, 'prick', 'pussy', 'whore', 'asshole', 'ass', 'tits', 'bastard', 'shit', 'bullshit', 'crap', 'balls', 'God', 'damn', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'hell'), and rude middle finger gestures.
discrimination
Racism is a theme of the film. There is frequent use of racist language (for example, 'n****r', negro, 'coon', 'spear-chucker', 'monkey', 'cracker') as well as racist sequences in which people express racist views comparing Black people to 'animals'. Scenes of racist behaviour include a prolonged sequence in which people protest the arrival of Black students, attacking their bus. There is also a scene in which white teenagers throw rocks at a Black man's car. Racism is clearly not condoned by the work as a whole and is often challenged and condemned, with the film promoting positive messages about equality.
additional issues
A teenage boy beats another teenage boy, causing him injury. A police officer is shot, with brief sight of bloody detail. There are brief verbal references to domestic abuse. A man smokes a marijuana joint which he passes to his teenage son. There are also scenes of emotional upset.
