12 Angry Men Race Quotes

It's pretty early in the film that we realize Juror #10 is pretty darn racist. Comments like this one show us that he's willing to make a judgment about the kid's guilt based entirely on race.

When he sees that the rest of the room isn't with him, Juror #10 digs himself an even deeper hole by insisting that the defendant and all the other people of color like him are just born liars.

When he can't take it anymore, Juror #9 (the old man) gets up and tells Juror #10 that he's ignorant for being so racist. He'd be happy to get into a much longer argument if it weren't for the people around him shouting him down.
