not racist, just a comment on the human condition

I disagree. I found that with all the attitudes expressed by the characters, both racist and altruistic, in the end they all shared that common characteristic as do we all--- we are all are capable of both good and evil acts, we are all are fallible, we are all racist to some extent, in other words, we are all human. It's about people and all our wonderful misgivings, shortfalls, fears, and occasional moments of grace.
If nothing else, this movie promotes discussion and open communication on this hot-button topic; which is clearly evident from all the postings being made here.
I think it's a great movie with one of the most tightly woven plots I've witnessed in quite some time.
