Portraying american minorities and especially black folk as criminals, gang members, and the main black character as unable to communicate without talking in ghetto slang.
Its a cliche played out (the entire movie was full of it).
And where does it come from?
From American movies and tv series. Never noticed that? Hard not to notice.
So why are you calling Europe racist when they just used the typical cliches given by the American film industry?
Or do you call Americans and Europeans racist?
Also while being anti american is not racist it was still disrespectful on so many levels.
Okay, you must troll or lost your mind. -.-
a perfect example that europeans have still retained from the past there hateful intellectual racist way of thinking towards not just america but the non european world majority as a whole
And theres no past needed. All “recent“ revealments of NSA and CIA are partly so shocking thats enough to be disgusted. Are you so pro USA that you badmouth a comedy movie but close your eyes to the real (important) stuff?

Yes but usually the cliche of how were depicted in american films is done by African american directors, writers, producers, etc. And its obvious based on portrayal its a parody unlike this retarded offensive pos film.
I'm not pro US and u don't have to be in order to call u white european out on your closet racism in movies. If by pro US u mean pro Obama that i am but so is much of the rest of Africa and the global south that's pro Obama. He is a far more respected leader then any a ur white european leaders could ever hope to be.

Apart from UK, northern European countries lack a history of black inhabitants.
~60% of the black ppl in Europe live in France and UK. The rest in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The others countries have ignorable amounts.
But every European knows the American cliches from tv. And I think its natural to use the cliches of the US for a movie that takes part there.

By cliche u mean a poor half ass attempt to stereotype American black folk and not in the comedic way that african american writers and directors do it. also why when u bring up americans u only talk about white americans and leave our african americans? what so because they black somehow makes em less american in u white europeans eyes?

Americans are ones with US citizenship. Black, white, brown (hispanic, native folk) and the ones from Asian descent. Blacks belong to the US like the Whites.
BTW, the amount of black ppl Ive ever talked too is less than five and none was an American. I rarely see any where I live, they come as tourists and leave again.
Dont accuse me that my world is white when it is.
