Sal

I thought the part of the movie when Sal and Pino had a heart to heart inside the restaurant when Pino expressed his feelings about relocating the business to somewhere in their own community. The father bluntly said moving a pizza place to an Italian area would be a bad idea economically. But other than that the father seems to have a bond with the black people of this neighborhood showing he was proud of the fact that everyone grew up and loved his pizza. On the other hand the son Pino dispised the fact that he was around all the"monkeys" and his Italian friends making fun of him. I thought it was interesting that the younger generation would be shown as being more tolerant than the older one since that is typically the case. I think the Sal is more tollerant because he realizes that he needs other people besides Italians he lives with to want and like his food in order to survive. In an economical way Sal is tolerant but he still has his racist thoughts and is not completely tolerant but more tolerant than most.
