The Human Stain (2003) - Synopsis

During the summer of 1998, a light-skinned African American classic professor, Dr. Coleman Silk, becomes the target of a racial controversy when he calls some students "spooks." His life begins to unfold as facts come forth, such as the fact that he had an affair with a cleaning woman half his age, that he isn't actually Jewish, and that his race is not what it appears to be.
