"flagrant racism in new transformers movie? (swipe)"


  

          

judge for yourself, but this seems pretty blatant to me:

"There are two robots in the film called Mudflap and Skids, and despite being red and green, respectively, they are voiced in a way that clearly designates them to be the “black” robots. Also, Skids has a gold front tooth (no, I’m serious) and both cannot read."

there are several other offensive aspects, depending on which minority group you may belong to...
