Two things.

1. Two of the three people saying yes are rookie accounts made in the last month. 100% alts. The third is an extremely lazy troll on this board, also likely an alt.

2. Your poll is not IP locked and thus useless.

P.S. Of course the show isn't racist. It is good, though. Definitely watch it.

As a black person, I'm embarrassed it fucking exists.

That and that stupid MTV decoded SJW bullshit. So sad that black people are basically the biggest supporters of SJW-ism, and liberal identity politics. Fucking embarrassing.

no.

the show is about (mostly) privileged black students in a mostly white institution, looking for causes to champion, as young people usually do.

most of their grievances are legitimate, but they sometimes go about addressing them in extreme ways that don't help their cause.

the show usually does a good job of showing two sides of an argument, IMO, without necessarily leaning towards one was as right.

and the black characters don't always look good, or the white ones bad.

No but I hate the name and it can get pretty preachy. The name implies that it's an attack on white people though and it really isn't

It is "technically racist" by definition.

Is it "racist racist"? I don't know, but I didn't care for the movie.

Because it distinguishes people on race. Any act that separates people based on race is technically racist, but not 'racist' in the negative connotation way so who cares.

Because White people have a persecution complex and anything remotely "negative" is cause for alarm.

the characters of a work can be racist without that work being so, too.

I'm 100% certain that the people complaining about Dear White People haven't seen the show at all. Hell, they probably haven't even skimmed the Wikipedia article and just want to be outraged at the title.

If there was a show called dear blacks there would be a huge uproar. Don't fucking lie about it.

What about the dumb ass movie White chicks, if there was a movie of two white men going stereotypical black woman you know there would be a huge outcry over it.

Let me guess though, slavery, the KKK, Dylan roof? That seems to be the calling card when people bring up if it was the other way.

I haven't checked the wiki article but I've read a lot of stuff claiming it explores race and other topics at least somewhat thoughtfully.

That's the problem though. People don't want to think, they just want to react. The title of the show is meant to prove that.

The movie is said to be good, the tv show however is very racist and is practically extreme racism on the other foot.
