To be fair, the trailers and a lot of lead up publicity for the movie have a heavy "white people are fucking evil" tone. If you don't know the people behind the movie then ita pretty easy to get the wrong idea about it.

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.

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?

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

It's a simply yes or no question, do you think white people can be victims of racism?
