Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Racism?Posted by: MichaelThe Internet is a buzz with accusations of Racism in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and I want to put the question to you. Did you find the film racist? In particular the characters 'The Twins', pictured below. The characters have the following characteristics
The question is did you think they were stereotyping a group of people ? Or was it just another quirky character added to the mix? For me I did not take it as racism I thought they looked like slang talking Mice but perhaps I am alone. When I look at robots I do not look for a comparison to the human race so that is perhaps why I do not see the racism angle. What did you think of the Twins? Racist? Or just having some fun with new characters? The voice over actor who played one of the twins told USAToday;
Honestly thats a pretty good answer. Its just a shame the voice over actor is the only one who seems to be doing any explaining. To me they were the Jar Jar binks of Transformers and were intended to be fun characters that quite frankly could have been left out. The stupid one liners and poor writing of these characters made what could have been an innocent fun character... boring and in some peoples thinking racist. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
