If calling blacks spooks and asians gooks wasn't racist then what would you say his character portrayed? I saw this movie and thought he played the role of a racist that is put in a position where he has to adapt with people of other cultures and races with which he would rather not.

I'm not sure what your argument is? the movie is about racism, so ofcourse the actors portray racist characteristics.....but that doesn't make it a racist movie.....right? lol


Exactly, not to mention most of that stuff was pretty damn funny. biggrin

It was meant to be viewed as funny, the theater I was in was packed with people of every color, race, size and gender. Everyone laughed at his remarks, nobody seemed offended in the least.
Side note, Clint Eastwood was here in Santa Barbara, last thursday to receive an award, at the Santa Barbara International film Festival. He looked simply spectacular! Fans came out in droves!!
