Malibu's Most Wanted and Racial Transparency

Brad "B-Rad" Gluckmann was an aspiring rapper in the movie, Malibu's Most Wanted. B-Rad was White and he surrounded himself with Black culture. Even though he claims that he understands the Black struggle in one scene, his kidnappers Bloodbath and Tree try to use his racial transparency to get him to rob a liquor store in their neighborhood. Racial transparency is the state of having no "color". Whites have this advantage in society. When Whites walk into places, they are not looked down upon, as someone would other minorities. As B-Rad walks in, he greets the owner and attempts to get some malt liquor. Because he was associated with Black people, the owner saw him as a threat at first and kept a very close eye on him.
