Anyone familiar with Black Greek life knows what a can of worms is opened when Jamilah agrees to these terms. Stepping is a Black art form, and central to showmanship, socializing, and expression within Black Greek life. By teaching these skills to the Betas, Jamilah is essentially providing them with the tools to execute another form of cultural appropriation. And this is Step Sisters' entire entry point to exploring race and all the things that come with it: appropriation, tokenization, interracial dating as a political act, and validating one's Black card. However, while all of these themes come up, the movie doesn’t pretend to offer any solution of nuance to solve them — a strategy that works, if you ask me. Step Sisters does not get caught up in trying provide explanations and historical context for how relations come to exist on college campuses. The entire movies seems to imply that these are simply the circumstances under which Black students find themselves, and it's up to them to sort them out.
