Reverse Racism
"White Chicks" and "Method and Red" have brought to the forefront this "reverse racism" stuff. I don't believe in racism of any kind, but I mean, come on, poking fun at rich white people is racism now? Rich White men: The forgotten minority. What do DUers think?

1. Sorry but satire is not racism. And White Chicks is satire.
Method and Red I know nothing about.

2. There is no such thing as reverse racism..it is a myth
Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another...how do you do that in reverse?

3. Agreed
Stupid as the idea is (Black FBI agents posing as white girls) I can't see how anyone could be too offended. Except maybe for their sensabilities... You wanna support the black filmmaking community go see Badasssss and leave this crap for the movie exec that thought this was a good idea

6. I like the concept of "Method and Red" but "White Chicks" looks utterly

7. I'm sick of hearing
"reverse racism" in relation to affirmative action. In my college class, there were two minorities and about 40 whites. I sat there shocked as they said that blacks and hispanics don't deserve any help because schools should admit SOLELY on academic qualifications. This speech of course given by a college athlete on an athletic scholarship.
