287. oh horseshit
<<but am now told I'm a racist to have enjoyed it>>

where did anyone say such a thing? :shrug:

Anyway, the movie didn't become "suddenly racist," it has always been encoded with various racist stereotypes. If you can't see that, then you should look more closely. But it appears you'd rather close your eyes and scream "PC Bullshit! PC Bullshit!" That is, after all, much easier than actually thoughtfully addressing (or even simply hearing) concerns about insidious racial stereotypes in our culture.

I'm sick to death of people whining about "PC Bullshit" every time somebody suggests the possibility of racism in our society.
