Was he a racist?
Keanu sure seemed like it in the first half hour.
shareI wouldn't use Racist or even bigotry as much as I believe he would say anything, if it advances his motives.
If you believe he was racist, towards whom?
Can't be Black people, his Boss (that he respected so much he was blind to his criminal activity)?
His partner's wife, he's about the only dude that didn't try to bang her and he went back to save her.
His girlfriend was Latino?
He saved those Asians being abused.
I don't believe so. I believe all the racial comments he made to the Koreans was so they would beat him up and steal his car, which was being tracked, so they could locate the house. He called and they gave him the address when he was on the phone in the booth remember? Also, his racial comments towards Washington outside the crime scene were extremely sarcastic and were mean to be a big *beep* you vs. being true.
shareFireJake41,
Seems we saw the exact same movie?:):)
And you can add, he tried to save Washington after he was blasted to Smithereens. Which I question even thinking he could survive all those rounds of trying to save him?
About the only problem/flaw he really had,...a drinking one:):)
Also, it's BECAUSE he wasn't racist/prejudiced/bigot that allowed him to piece it all together.
Because he spoke to the Washington's Wife and listened to her/their version, the Black Dude that gave the "Cookie Jar" Complaint, and the dealer that hooked him up with the "Exigent Circumstances" Crooked Cops.
