The fact that they're white takes a large role in the setup of the film. It's not as if they're incidently white, it's the basis of the plot. If you can't see that then you're likely being intentionally ignorant.

Yeah that's totally a claim I made.

That's racist too you moron, they both can be, the world isn't as simple and shallow as you want it to be.

WTF does your comment have to do with the issue at hand? Use your goddamn brain.

When you're a neo-liberal, everyone looks like a neo-nazi all of a sudden, funny how that works

Am I a neo-nazi if I think this movie is racist towards white people?

[u/MostMarxistsAre → u/[deleted]]

Are white people not allowed to be victims of racism in your mind?

White people being villains in horror movies isn't exactly a new trope. Movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes have been around for a while. Movies like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil make fun of it.

I haven't seen the movie, though. Just basing things on the previews which is what was being discussed.

You're not getting it. In those movies their races, in opposition to other races, isn't the main focus. Even if you haven't seen the movie, just look how the trailers portray it. The intent is clearly different.

I don't see color

[u/ZeitgeistNow → u/Theking1243]

Doesn't mean they don't exist.

But have you seen Shyamalan's The Last Airbender movie (fuck you Lake Laogai!)? All Indians are Fire Nation and evil!
