EVERYTHING is Racist.

I saw this news story over at yahoo and I just have to comment.

If you are lazy and don't feel like reading it here is a synopsis. The new Transformer's movie has two "jive talking twin robots" in it, that to some, are racial stereotypes and are in poor taste. I find it mildly disconcerting that anytime a white guy is stereotyped, or an Italian, or a Latino, or (insert any race other than Black) there is hardly a blip on the news radar. I seem to remember a little movie called White Chicks that came out a few years ago that was basically a running gag about how stupid blonde white girls can be. There was no uproar over that. Nary a nasty letter or blog was written other than to say what a craptacular movie it was.

I'm guessing that if John Singleton, Spike Lee, or Keenan Ivory Wayans directed Transformer's there wouldn't be a news story about it on yahoo. Granted, yahoo isn't exactly the most respected of "news" sources, but that article just irked me something fierce.
