There comes a point where you realize that political correctness causes more racism and hatred than it prevents.

As a black man (oops! I mean African american 8-}

) i couldn't agree more. My dad and i were laughing our butts off at the twins.

"This is what we call blend'in in like a ninja!"
"Undercover yo! You gots to blend in with your surroundings!" :lol:

After hearing about the race debate I searched YouTube to see what people of different backgrounds had to say about the film. Overwhelmingly, white British people in particular expressed the opinion that the twins were racist. On the other hand, while I did not find too many reviews by African Americans, or black people, or whatever the individuals wish to call themselves (especially if they are not Americans), the people I would have expected to be upset about the behavior and characterization of the twins loved them and could not stop laughing when referring to them. To me, that says PC people are full of it. But to PC people I think they "feel" the need to say something because they maybe look down on the people they "felt" were (unknowingly to themselves) being made fun of by the twins (I find PC people to be intellectually elitist, but that's just my own personal opinion as I'm a straight shooter and call it how I see it). FYI, I thought the culture the twins were satirizing was the white hip hop crowd, so that might make me a racist to some people who have no business calling anyone anything. But I digress... :BANG_HEAD:

Some of those things were interesting. I was terrified when I found out Megan's replacement has less acting experience than her. I was hoping when they got rid of her, they'd get someone who could act better.

It's not like Fox's "acting experience" helped. If you ask me she was the worst part about both films and I'm more than happy to see her go. Sure the new "actress" is a complete noob, but a wet sponge could act better than Megan Fox.

This! Exactly this! See, black people have no problem with it. It's all the people who aren't, making claims and who think all black people act like that! Thy're the only ones who see the twins as racist. Besides, robots don't have race. No race that humans have anyway. So, how could they be racist if they never said anything about a particular race?
