Is Transformers 2 racist?

I've been hearing a lot of buzz how in the new Michael Bay movie Transformers Rise of the Fallen there is a lot of racist stereotypes.

Most hate is going to new characters Mudflap and and Skids, who use a lot of profanity, "Don't read much", and one of them have a gold tooth.

People are also saying there is a lot of stereotypes for minor characters, like a chinese guy eating noodles or something.

People are defending the movie by saying that they are robots and aren't of any race except for robots. They also say that the people critising Mudflap and Skids for being stereotypes of african americans are racist for thinking that they act like that.

The people attacking it are saying that the movie is targeted towards teens and younger kids, and it can confuse them along.

I'm still thinking about if this is an issue, but I do agree that characters Mudflap and Skid are un needed from what people are saying.

I'm seeing the movie tomorrow so i'll find out.

For the people who did see it, did you notice the stereotypes? Was it offensive?

Of course it isn't racist. If it was, I think it would be a lot more obvious than jive-talking robots. While you're calling Transformers 2 racist, why don't you say something about the jive-talking lady on Airplane?

nope.

No you didn't call it racist. I got a little bit pissed off since there is too many idiots out there that think Transformers 2 is racist. Sorry about that.

No it isn't, people are just making a big deal out of nothing.69ANT69
