Michael Bay Promoting No-So-Subtle Racism Via 'Transformers 2' Robots

"There are two robots in the film called Mudflap and Skids, and despite being red and green, respectively, they are voiced in a way that clearly designates them to be the “black” robots. Also, Skids has a gold front tooth (no, I’m serious) and both cannot read." - "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen," now with 75% more racism. [via Movieline]

UGH. Michael Bay is a sexist, racist, simpleton. Just one of many reasons for me to avoid his crappy films.

Jazz was voiced by Scatman Crothers in the original cartoon.

So, there's that.

They're not black, they're ghetto. Stop assuming every ghetto person is black.

Gabe Toro said...

Tell Michael Bay.

Trippman said...

Besides Michael Bay, tell Moviefone, and the rest of the world.

Gabe Toro said...

Well, yeah.

Assuming they are black simply because of their language is in fact racist. Fact: all races can use improper grammar.
