Michelangelo Tangelo uses fantasy 'fruit beings' as metaphors to portray the shame and confusion that may occur when bi-racial individuals allow negative racial stereotypes to shape their self image. The bible teaches that God is not a 'respecter of persons', that is to say he does not show partiality to anyone. As society becomes more diverse, the story of Michelangelo Tangelo will remind us that our purpose and identity are revealed to us through a rightful relationship with our heavenly father.
