Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
But who was "not racist" in that film? Everyone was! You might argue that the Latino father was not, but even then he got pretty worked up talking to the Persian store owner. Maybe a Larenz Tate's character. . .he might have been a stereotypical "good guy" (except that he's also a carjacker).
I'll concede the "nothing more". . .this was a huge cast, and as a result the characters were painted in pretty broad strokes. You can't get very deep with that many people on the screen. However, I thought there was enough of a hint of "more" there to make that lack forgivable. I came away feeling that there was more to these characters than their racial hangups even though that was pretty much all you saw (and sense race is the topic of the movie,maybe that's forgivable).
I still want to know if anyone recommends a better film on the issue of race. I'm wondering if maybe the real issue is that people think the TOPIC of racisim is cliche, and that's the real issue rather than the film itself.
