Really? I watched the movie and loved it. It was two cultures finding a peaceful existence. Then I watched the extra (Making of) on the DVD and racism was pushed so many times. Oprah partly financed it cause she saw the racism in it... Really? I never did. Just 2 cultures. Other 'mouths' on the extra also babbled racism. Everything that happens between 2 cultures or peoples is not racism. I want to give the movie a 9 but ....
shareAgree, the "clash", to the extent that it existed, was more cultural.
shareThe people who wrote the bigoted graffiti on the wall and then set the restaurant on fire seemed pretty racist to me.
shareOprah's a race-baiter.
shareThe problem isn't that you couldn't see it, the problem is that everyone nowadays wants to see it where it doesn't exist.
shareExactly.
shareThe problem is that you DON'T want to see it, even when it's right in your face. If the internet, smartphones, social networks that auto upload to the world, and 24 hour never came along you could play the ignorant act all day.
shareNo, the problem really is that it doesn't exist. Idiots like you will look at a single case of racism uploaded on someone's phone and assume that the rest of society operates the same way. You're wrong. And a fool for thinking so.
