racist line in the movie

when the condor asks the group of black people in the lobby if they had a coat hanger and if they could help him break into his car

but here's the real racist line:

"You can't tell me you've never busted into a car."

Dude it's NYC and guess why Turner rides a bike to work. Parking is ridiculous and who wants their car broke into. Just because the demographics Turner reads about daily for his job don't agree with your worldview doesn't make him racist. He sees it every day. It was a valid question for any street urban nighttime groups no matter what color they were.

Only one guy was black, everyone else was white.

Ok .let's say it's a racist comment. In real life people make racists comments. Movies/art are a reflection of real life. Are you saying art should be sanitized (AKA censored)? Are you for burning art you don't agree with?

Yes.

If you are serious, then you are a moron. Nothing else need be said.

Racism is no joking matter.

"theargentinan" is Portugese for "fun at parties"

But Turner was correct. The guy with the afro admitted that he knew how to break into a car and happily went to earn his 5 bucks.
