Hey! How come all the white guys are portrayed as cold blooded killers with no sense of moral obligation! They even mowed down a bunch of hispanics! I'm not a right wing lunatic who thinks mexicans should stay in their country! Yet every white man we see is portrayed as such! Even the black guys are portrayed as Uncle Tom's! This movie is racist against white man and is purposedly trying to suggest we are like Nazi's or any other socialist power!
^sarcasm.
There was a show called black and white where the guys would dress up as the opposite race. The black guy was leading the white guy (disguised as a black dude) down a busy street. People were stepping out of the way.
Black dude: See all these white people stepping out of the way? They are afraid of me because I'm black, they are racist!
White dude: Dude were taking up the whole walkway.
If you look for racism, you'll find it.
Predator isn't racist because the predator has dreads. It was inspired by an african tribe, but I don't think inspiration automatically means "geez, lets make the predator gangsta so all the little white guys are afraid of it." Despite it being set in the eighties, some left wing group could look at predator and say, "Predator is a movie about right wing conservatism vs left wing politics,", but since immigration wasn't the "problem" it was back then, I doubt very much that is the case.
It is what it is. I sometimes wonder how many peoples books get taken and misconstrued over the course of time and portrayed as something they didn't mean, or never intended.
I very much doubt that the predator films are racist. The racism tag is slapped onto everything nowadays so quickly its ridiculous. The show the boondocks was almost railroaded off the network it showed on originally because people thought it was racist, when the guy writing it was a black man reflecting on the pitfalls of gangsta and problack lifestyles.
I know racism exist, I've experienced it both ways. I've been there when black people are yelled at for looking at magazines in stores "you gotta pay for that first!" when half a dozen white people are doing the same, and when the black guys pick on the lone white kid riding his bike home from school, "We don't want cracka's around here!"
But that doesn't mean a movie made by white men is intended to be racist just because it features black actors. Sometimes directors just want to make a movie, they don't want to put any type of emphasis behind the story. Aside from that KPH seemed to get along with everyone well. I doubt he's just mugging for the camera. He was a big STRONG dude. He isn't going to take shit from racist, just like arnold in red heat, or any other warm blooded man.
