Tom DuBois is an attorney who lives across the street from the Freemans. He is an African-American, whose character is a stereotype of a successful white-collar middle-class black man. Easily frightened, Tom adheres strictly to the law, though Huey mentions that Tom's job as a prosecutor sends other black men to the very fate he most fears. His character can be interpreted as an "Uncle Tom" as he is seen as having turned his back on his black heritage (however genealogical testing shows him as being 32.5% Scottish) to marry a white woman (Sarah), producing a mixed-race child (Jazmine), and becoming a prosecutor who often convicts black people.
