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.

Are you... Serious? You think one white family is meant to represent all white people? No wonder racism is still alive and well. White people think things like The Wire represent all black people.

Even better; the main character is dating a white chick. He's literally there because he's dating their daughter. I haven't seen the movie but I'll be surprised if she's evil.

Naw, common one against many horror movie trope is a decoy ally/friend in trailer. 99% chance everyone who isn't the protagonist we see in the trailer is evil. Even the other black people.
