The issue I am referring to is not that the film is inflammatory but that it reinforces racism by levelling out the impact of white supremacy on whites and peoples of color.
For example.. where's the film that shows the differential approach to incarceration that is being discussed on this listserve?
To address racism as solely prejudice or stereotype as the film primarily does provides some relief to some who believe that "everybody's a little bit racist" - it's just world we live in - and if they are "nice" and don't engage overtly racist language or ideas they need not be overly concerned ... though it is highly offensive to many who face constant reminder of the structural and ideological consequences.
ahhhh this is precisely the subject of Breaking the Code of Good Intentions: Everyday Forms of Whiteness...
