Phrase: from Imitation of Life

Sarah Jane: "I'm someone else! I'm white...white...WHITE!"

Sarah Jane has this complex with being a person of color. She just wants to be white and tries to assimilate to the lifestyle of a white person. This reminded me of the mirror stage and the struggle there after with how one sees themself. Maybe at one point Sarah Jane was happy with who she was, like when she first realized who she was.
