I think that the point that you are missing is the fact that _Driving
Miss Daisy_ is set in the South.  There is a clash of 'Jewishness' and
being Southern, there is also the relationship between Miss Daisy and
her driver who are _both_ not accepted into Southern 'society', he because
he is black and she because she is Jewish.
