Not really. Sorta little kink coming from his mind. However, considering how evil the man is I am utterly shocked as to how Un-Racist he has been all through out his films. I mean we have every reason to hate him. He is an ultimate evil but he doesn't have a potty mouth...How.

reply

True, especially back in the 80s when he could have gotten away with saying more racist things that he could today.

It's just like ppl who are shocked and disgusted at the idea that Freddy may have been a child molester, I mean the man is like 112% EVIL, I dunno why anything he would do would shock anyone.

reply

That's not completely true. He did say bitch a lot.

i dont remember every noes movie but i can only think of 2 black victims, so kia would be a ''change of pace''?

Making a non-negative remark about her skin color isn't racist.

reply

Probably. But then he was a child murderer, so it's not like you can expect morality from him.

reply

Of course it was meant to be a little racist. Freddy is never above demeaning somebody for his kicks before going in for the kill. In Kia's instance, he wasn't expecting her to be able to dish it out like she does.

reply

It wasn't "meant" to be racist. It was a humorous revision of his line from part 4 when he said "How sweet, fresh meat."

reply

For the audience, it's meant to be a humorous callback and revision of that classic line. But in the context of the film, it's Freddy's way of demeaning Kia before he kills her. Since he lacks his powers in the real world, he's working with what he has and his mouth is always a go to.

He molests and murders children but hopefully he's racially sensitive...
