UnfairRepresent 05/22/22 2:03:28 PM #15:	I forgot how awful a person Carter was until I rewatched it Yes I know he's supposed to be annoying but he is absolutely rude to everyone, keeps putting people in danger, sexually harrases women, plays with people's jobs, abuses his power.

Southernfatman 05/22/22 2:09:12 PM #17:	I always took it that Carter was just kind of an ignorant dick in general anyway even if he's likable. Seemed like what they were going for.

KeeperOfShadows 05/22/22 2:19:58 PM #18:	It'd work fine today. There'd just be more people complaining about it. It's not like people were numb to racial stereotypes back in 1998. They were simply more willing to relax and have a good laugh. They'd probably have to change the N-word line, though. --- Currently playing: DFFOO, Priconne <cite>KeeperOfShadows posted [p:965224890] in Rush Hour ...
