A couple of years ago, my nephew "discovered" this movie so I watched it with him.  I was alarmed to realize he was laughing at it for all the wrong reasons; he was in that phase of too many white male teens where they think racism is edgy and funny.  That the movie was making fun of racists was lost on him.</blockquote>
