Like if they were white people put in black people’s body why do they work like slaves and act like robots ? As we know the black peoples mind is trapped as only a passanger why would the rich, loved asshole white people who are in charge work like slaves especially because the main one in movie were basically their grand parents? And also why would racist people want to be black ? The only answer i can think of is the plot wasn’t that much thought out and they just ran with it and the people praising this movie does’nt care about plot holes which sucks because these are crucial aspects of this movie . Am i missing something ?
They’re not racist, they’re racist-lite.
The daughter with a black man fetish. The father who can’t help but performatively support black people. The son who wants to show how tough he is by fighting the black guy. The party guests who think black people are just the coolest, or are overly interested in their penis size or physical prowess. The grandfather who never got over being beaten.
It’s a showcase of the other type of racism that we don’t talk about as much, the obsession and fetishization of a race.
“I wish I was black so I could be fast, or cool”.
The two people who weren’t diet racist were the scariest. The mother who just saw “we can steal black people and no one will investigate” was perfectly observant and willing to use systemic racism for her own benefit.
The blind artist literally couldn’t see race. He saw the main character for who he really was. He saw, and wanted to possess his eyes. Creepy shit, but at least he was creepy as fuck in a not racist way?
They’re all parodies of the worst white people.
I think the yardwork and maid bit is just why they were around, because otherwise it’s just “why do you have two random black people living with you”. Grandpa likes being fit, which is why we have the wtf moment of him just running around aimlessly when he thinks the main character is asleep.
The main characters friend basically tells the truth the whole time, whenever they talk. “Get out of there man, you’re deep in some messed up ultra white person shit”.
Racist-lite, I love it.
I had to explain this concept to my friend using Asian fetish to understand. The guy who runs up to asian people, shows off his chopstick skills, talks about Asian things, hits on Asian women, and always gives preferential treatment simply because the person is Asian.
Still racism.
I want to say that the name for that style of racism actually comes from how aggressively it happened to Asian culture, but I’m drawing no results when I try to find the term.
The style of racism where you mysticise a culture to the point where you overlook that they’re actually “people” and not just some abstract magic culture beyond the ken of our western understanding or whatever.
Blud could’ve just got an eye surgery
Yeah, but then he doesn’t have the eyes of an artist. Also, the plot wouldn’t have worked. :P
What ? But this black guy was on auction and not specifically chosen for the blind guy (sorry i don’t remember anyones name).
I’m not following what you’re not following.
What ?
What‽
