The real “blind side”

Haven’t a thing against Austinite actress Sandra Bullock’s winning an Oscar  for playing a rich, religious, patriotic Southern white lady who befriends and helps a poor, homeless black kid become an NFL lineman.

How much more worth seeing the movie would be, however, if her character was a rich, religious, patriotic Southern (yes!) black lady who befriended and helped a poor, homeless white kid become a point guard in the NBA. That one I’d go see. This other, not likely, thanks.
