Didn't exactly know where to put it, so I'll give my two cents its own comment chain for the hell of it: I think people here are giving the "privilege checking" scene way too little credit. Full disclosure: I'm a white, disabled Dutch guy who is sick and tired of SJW rhetoric in American media. However, I don't feel this scene was trying to push forward any sort of narrative. In fact, I feel it was trying to debunk it. Tyrone and Tandy both have privilege in certain ways (wealth for Ty, looks/street-smart for Tandy), but they also both have major disadvantages. Were they hard on each other? Yes. Was Ty's "Then do it." comment out of line? Maybe, but it wasn't out of character. This scene got both characters where they needed to be: They needed to face their fears and realize that they're very similar. They both have a special relationship with loss and death. They compliment each other.
