Completely agree. People are coming into the movie with pre-conceived biases because of the Obama angle. They are looking for something blow up.

There wasn't anything in the movie, socially, that wasn't based in reality. The "wokeness level" could have been a WHOLE lot worse. Subtle racism like the white woman showed is real, and it is everywhere in the circles she would have come from. The overtly racist black chick was also real as frick.

People are just uncomfortable recognizing that yes, racism is still real

is it though? Lady lives in freakin' Brooklyn. And that wasn't exactly soft racism

I didn't really have much of a problem with the race angle of the movie, besides rolling my eyes a few times.

Movie still kind of sucked though.

I am going to disagree that the white woman was “racist”, subtle or otherwise. GH appeared in the middle of the night claiming it was his house. She was rightfully skeptical of his story because of the circumstances.

The opportunity was certainly there for GH, or especially the daughter, to make the allegation.

The daughter’s quip when she brought up not trusting people “especially white people” obviously was racist.
