I kind of agree. I mean, I'm not sure whether I would call it a 'racist film', but on the face of it it's a film which pretty much trivializes racism into the question of whether some (straight) white guy is so racist that he wouldn't fall for Halle Berry. I think Dick Gregory explored this ground 40 years ago by asking white racist men whether they would rather be on a desert island with Lena Horne or [I forget who]. * * * Kate Smith. For them as don't get this reference, she was a fat pop singer, now forgotten, who made a rep by singing the Star Spangled Banner. I thought the joke was Lenny Bruce's. jks
