what a weird age cutoff for having a legitimate opinion

I think it's because he lost a lot of weight (good on him) which can cause a bit of saggy skin which can make you look older.

im not sure though

as for the movie, I think the worst character was Mo. I don't know if you agree but I just couldn't stand her and she propagates the idea that white people and black people don't belong and it sounds so offf to me

well what peiple believe anonymously is none of our fucking concern is it?

i'm just saying socially speaking (not even legally speaking) interacial marriage is not up for debate in the US, even less in Los Angeles. Are some american, los angeles families strongly against it? sure!

i was just poiting out that reacting to your white best friend DATING a black girl the way Mo did in the movie was fuking nuts

I'm not even talking about the CIA, you lunatic!

I was talking about the movie.

I have more important things to care about than the CIA.

PS: take off your tinfoil hat, it looks ridiculous!

I agree with you for the cast.

I also agree with ypu for separating the work from the artist, as my post said. But that's personal and in the current social climate it's very tricky, I feel like the general consensus is to wait a bit before using someones work ie making sure its not too fresh in peoples memory.

And yes something can be racial without being racist. But if you're being clubsy with such a touchy issue, you deserve the backlash.

Touching racial subjects is very hard. It's like playing with fire.

I don't feel like it's going on a limb to say that the directors burned themselves on this one.

Lots of people watched it and they had me on the trailer because of "What's the difference"

Well obviously some people in the jewish community will be offended. Not the best timing to have someone support Farrakhan and not getting called out on it + the kanye soundtrack

Not familiar with his work but this feels clumbsy and only acceptable because it is currently pilitically correct. I feel like it will age very poorly

Also why wasn't there any scenes of awkwardness between the try hard oblivious to her racism mom and the stiff antisemitic dad?

Are there any antisemitic jokes from the antisemitic characters? Are there any explicit expression of antismitism?

Oh well I guess since a white guy and a black guy wrote the film together all is well!

The setting is in Los Angeles, and this is a US wide poll:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/354638/approval-interracial-marriage-new-high.aspx

So how come it's a "bold move that would get someone killed" to date a black woman as a white dude??

also thanks for this, I think some people need to read this article. I personally thought it was lower, it obviously is even higher than 94% in Los Angeles (setting of the movie) yet people call me naive

in the setting of the movie (Los Angeles) it is not a subject of social debate. Are there some people there against it? For sure. But it's not a subject of social debate. If you sit at a table with 10 average people from the city, odds are that you won't have much agreement if you tell them you are against your black daughter marrying a white dude.

Well I'm sorry but my older brother has been in a interracial relationship for a while now, my sister has been in a couple and so did I. My friend is currently in one.

Are there some prejudice against these? Of course, you would have to be blind to say that racism doesn't exist anymore.

But it's definitely less an issue than before. My dad I think (from comments he's made) is internally against it, even though he himself had relations with different ethnicities.

Also, my comment was about how the current social climate is better than ever for interacial relationship and how it's fucking cringy that the first thing you say to someone dating a black girl is "iN thIs sOciAl CliMatE?? HoPe No OnE geTs kIlleD LoL"

Well I'm speaking generally in the setting of the movie people don't care. Would you say the most popular opinion in Los Angeles is that interracial marriage is bad, or that being against interracial marriage is bad??

Born in 2001.

First on Netflix

Exactly.

I'm not from the States myself but really close to the border and have been a lot of times and it doesn't seem realistic to me, but I haven't lived there neither.

Not only is everything about race, it's also dealt with in a very clumbsy way.

You being a sociopath thinking it makes you a cold blooded sociopath has nothing to do with this.

People are affected by the content they consume. Or have you not heard of what propaganda is???

Don't get me wrong, this movie is not propaganda. But it does affect your perceptions of things.

Also people are not numbers so rational and logical thinking won't help you understand the basic issue with this movie which is racism and bugotry in interpersonal relations

You mean the directors of the movie? Because they confused the funny in comedy for cringy?

Other solution

I agree with what you are trying to say but it's a touchy subject and sometimes you have to be held accountable for the way your piece of artwork is perceived. This movie feels heavy and dividing and the message is kinda fucked up, you have them breaking up because their family are not compatible BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS ARE FUCKING TERRIBLE, and then have the neitral character say it's because BLACK AND WHITE PEIPLE WILL NEVER BE OKAY, and then the only rrason they go through with the wedding is because they love each other, not because the parents go along.

Also the whole holocaust vs slavery bit was heavy and tone deaf

We are past the times when we could be tone deaf with such delicate issues

No need to call it out, but why include it? The obviously werent going to include any antisemitic stuff in it, so why the need to have a Farrakhan cocksucker in the movie?

It's not because it still is a very real issue (my dad for example was worried when I was seeing an asian girl because he said our kids wouldn't have blue eyes or whatever) that it's something REAL people in REAL life care about. People in their 20s and 30s for sure don't care about this, because this issue is not relevant like it was before (literally was socially accepted before to be against)

On top of that, "iN thIs SocIal CliMate" is fucking cringe because if anything it's better now than it ever was and Black Lives Matter protests shouldn't make it worse
