* FakeNationality: Lawrence Fishburne plays a very convincing Trinidadian in Professor Phipps. His nationality is significant, because Trinidad is a very literate country with high standards of education (often reflected in the lyrics of its story-oriented calypso music). Phipps states to Malik that he experienced racism when he arrived in the US to study, but his reaction was to channel his anger into working hard and achieving, thus resulting in his status as university professor.
