Yeah, I'd say go all avoid-y on this movie. It might be worth a video looksie if you're curious, just because you really do get the sense that it could have been great. The "twist" (*grin* thanks to you I was actually aware there was one coming) was fun, but when the script hit explanation mode things took a couple of giant steps back.
I was just trying to point out that, because this was created by people, someone(s) had final say as to what was and wasn't mentioned, and they decided *not* to mention bigotry. My attempts to speculate why it was left out of the mix is what led to the argument with Bro and to this post. People are different, definitely. People that may appear similar are different too. That doesn't mean not talking about differences is going to make things all good in the 'hood, nor does it mean talking about differences will make everything fall apart.
