Is there a black man in it? or an asian? or an indian? or anyone other than caucasians?
And if so, is there any point where one of the people dislike or harm (emotional or physical) The other people in any way?
If so,
Then No. Because it's a movie, That means it CANNOT be racist.
It can have racist overtones, It can be written by a racist for racists, Acted out by racists
But as a movie it is simply what you make of it.
The movie American History X is about racism (Mostly) yet the movie itself is not racist.
The people in it are, But the movie is not, But guess what?
WHO CARES???
Racism is such an overblown issue in modern society. Yes it exists and yes that is sad,
But the real problem isn't the racism, As it is nowhere near as widespread and extreme as it once was.
The problem now is the assumption of racism, So many people nowadays don't seem to understand the difference between things that are Racial & things that are Racist.
Racial things are mostly stereotypes, For example the asian man eating lots of rice, or the black man eating fried chicken, Or the scottish man eating haggis. That kind of thing is NOT racist IMO.
Racist Things are ONLY hate & discrimination, If there is no hate or discrimination intended then it is NOT racist.
The movie AVATAR is NOT racist because of its "White man vs Indians" story line, There are Racial undertones but just because it remotely touches on the "history" of a specific race doesn't make it racist.
All I'm Saying (If you can pull this from that mess I wrote)
Being Racial doesn't automatically make something Racist.
People are just to damn sensitive now, Not everything needs to be over the top "PC"
Anyway I'm really tired and rambled this out,
If you read it please don't correct or argue with me because I have not re-read what I wrote and am just hitting the post button now because i need to go to sleep.....
