Transformers: Racism?





Just watched Transformers 2: Revenge of The Fallen. The effects and story in this sequel were actually quite decent. But however there is a big problem I've seen that has carried on from the previous film. Yet again Micheal Bay has introduced his vision of "Black" good guys. Characters using part Patwa accents mixed with urban youth slang.

Previously we were introduced to the character Jazz which used various street slang  and your typical stereotypical black dialogue. This time they went way beyond and made two characters with broken English even jokingly mock themselves for being unable to read.

Too far Bay... too far this time.
