Michael goes to class, does his work, and participates to the best of his ability. Unfortunately, this makes Michael an "Oreo". Whenever he answers or does something good or profound, he is undermined by his black peers. These experiences make Michael have a severe identity crisis in which he begins to question his "blackness". All of this comes to an abrupt halt when a traumatic experience solidifies his identity. He then must make a choice of how he's going to continue to live his life after this experience.
