Racism...Really?


So the buzz has been that the new Transformers movie has some racism aspects to it.  The two robots twins are the topic of discussion.  I've seen the movie twice.  The first time I saw it I didn't think anything of the two robots being racist.  Then my boy HeartlessMARC told me about how people were talking about the movie being racist.  I'm the kind of person that really looks at the negative side of things, so didn't catch the hint of racism.  My mom wanted go to see Transformers so I went with her.  The second time I saw it I payed more attention to the robots in question.  I can say that there are some questionable things said and depictions.  One robot has a gold tooth, the both have somewhat wide noses, neither of them can read, and both don't have very good english.  I'll leave it up to you guys to decide if its racist or not.  Here are a couple videos I found on the subject.  

Here are some other articles about Transformer 2 being racist...
