Re: Skids and Mudflap...how does everyone feel about the racism accusations?
I'm not sure if I would go so far as to call the whole twins situation racist but their definitely pretty vile and vulgar as characters. If I had kids they are last thing I would want them exposed to.

Re: Skids and Mudflap...how does everyone feel about the racism accusations?
well, slang aside, me and my brother fight all the time, like the twins. Granted there's 6 years and 60 pounds difference ibn me and him, but you get the idea

They were hilarious.
Stereotypes? Yes.
Racist? NO NO NO NO NO.

Re: Skids and Mudflap...how does everyone feel about the racism accusations?
Did a "black" character die in this TF movie again too? (I wouldn't know, I haven't seen it yet).
So, would one call Drift a stereotype of Japanese people?

Re: Skids and Mudflap...how does everyone feel about the racism accusations?
Everything is racist! Sheesh. The fact that my keyboard is black is probably racist to someone. Piss off is all I can say its a movie and if I bothers you, well, good for you. I hope it does.
That said, I hated those characters. Hate, I don't use this term unless I mean it. Hate. But it has nothing to do with racism, I just hated them and thought that their existence was disrespectful to Transformers.

Keep in mind Skids is pretty much Flava Flav. He is not trying to be a black depiction, he is a parody of a real person.

Re: Skids and Mudflap...how does everyone feel about the racism accusations?
There is not a single OUNCE of racism in those characters. They are gangster hillbilly's, they aren't black, they aren't white, they have personalities that, actually... more white people have than Black. Yeesh...
I loved those characters BTW.
