One thing I would recommend is to make things a little more modern in your script. The racist language seems way more overtly used in your script than it is in real life.

In fact, I would remove all of that language altogether and just used it very occasionally...

All in all, this was a great read that tackled serious subject matter well without teetering into the dreaded woke territory. The only things I can recommend are remove the two unnecessary characters and changing up the dialogue lines to make it flow even better. Good luck!
