Why are the bad guys white supremacists?


What was the point in this addition? It didn't exactly add anything to the plot or change the protagonist's situation in any way.

Probably was chosen so the audience would feel less disgusted from the torture and killing.

Propaganda against who? White supremacists? You're an idiot, I'm sure most people are intelligent enough to come to their own conclusion on those dicks without the "Hollywood Propaganda Machine". Maybe your tin foil hat is on a little tight.

For the plot to make sense, the bad guys need to be pretty organized, hierarchical and loyal. So why not white supremacists? Were you thinking there weren't enough films with drug cartels or the mafia as bad guys?

Maybe Bulgarian child sex traffickers. O, wait, that market is intertwined with the narcotics market. I guess, it doesn't really matter. All gangs have a thing or two in common.
