It's not a racist film. This. And the racists are played as incompetent morons. And the BLACK LEAD/HERO is portrayed as essentially perfect/no flaws/highly intelligent/bad ass. With a WHITE sidekick. It's far more progressive than people let on. Especially given the time period. And the entire plot is a bout a black man overcoming racism in a time when it was the social norm >_> Not to mention still very common place in real life. I was mostly talking about the scenes that include the chinese people though it's also been a while since I've seen it (side note: if someone with "It's okay to be white" as a signature is agreeing with you on something about race, it's probably a good idea to think about why that might be) --- peanut butter and dick <cite>averagejoel posted [p:913150120] in Is Mel Bro...
