Burn the films. Right guys? Maybe make it a five year sentence for anyone who keeps their private film if caught.

Problem = Solved.

While it's neat that Falling Down is finally considered a "classic", what's racist about it?
The Nazi guy is meant to be offensive.
The "not economically viable" guy is meant to be provoking.
The kid showing D-Fens how the rocket launcher works is meant to be dry humor.

About all I can think of that might be "racist" is the price-gouging store owner being ambiguously brown.

I totally agree on this and I walked out of the theater in '99 telling people in the parking lot it was racist as fuck.

Stupid putting Falling Down there. DFens isn't really a hero or someone to look up to. Did they even watch the movie? I think they just heard the "OMG angry white man!!!" narrative others who obviously didn't watch the movie either spew and went with it.

And lol at Billy Madison. They're looking waaaay too into it. Juanita was never mammy-ish.

I also wonder about Falling Down. I know there's a scene with black gangsters trying to kill him, but the article doesn't mention that.

tbh tho, it's just a clickbait article

A lot of reviews in the 80s considered it racist too. Spike Lee, the NAACP, and black students protested it on release.
