Forrest Gump...Life is not neutral

The articles say that Forrest Gump is color blind, that he doesn’t recognize race. I think he understands that Bubba’s and his skin color are different, however I think that when it comes to race, he does not recognize race. When Lieutenant Dan asked them if they were twins they looked at each other as if he was stupid, they knew they were not twins, and not just because of the skin color. But Forrest also knows the difference between right and wrong, such as it was wrong to stop the students from entering into the school and it is wrong to kill people. When he meets the Black Panthers he realizes their anger but doesn’t pay much attention to them, more attention is paid to Jenny and her lame ass boyfriend. However the producers do recognize race and therefore the majority of blacks in the film are in inferior roles except for two people, the drill sergeant and Bubba’s momma after she receives Bubba’s share of the Shrimp money. Bubba becomes Forrest’s equal because they are best friends, but in Forrest’s eyes no one is worse off than he is, in terms of class, the only people who are worse than Forrest are the people who make bad choices and do bad things. The only person he doesn’t seem to think this of is Jenny, but that’s because she has past issues with a father and they are soul mates. If life was as neutral as Forrest saw it then life would be easier, however it isn’t and you must live with what you got (much like a box of chocolates).
