Shrek Forever After's Racist Comment

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2010)

Using the derogatory word "cracker" in a G-Rated movie that is meant for the whole family to watch is unacceptable. I am appalled and saddened that DreamWorks Animation would allow this racist name calling. To think it was suppose to be a "joke". Do you think using insulting words about someone's race is funny? Do you think this is appropriate for our children? If so, then DreamWorks Animation should change its target audience and movie rating because it has no business entertaining our children. Our country has come too far with easing racial issues to use it as a punch-line. Or maybe because it was making fun of Caucasians, it was considered okay. We all know that if the N-word was used that this movie would not have been produced. However, this is not about the double standards our country has about racism, but about the mere fact that a slang word was used to make fun of someone's race. The public deserves an apologize. It deserves an apologize from DreamWorks Animation, Jeffrey Kalzenberg (CEO), Mike Mitchell (Director), Josh Klausner (Writer), Darren Lemke (Writer), and the cast. Each and everyone of these individuals mentioned above had an opportunity to stand up for what was right and say that this is unacceptable. To make matters worse this racist word was used in a kid's movie. Maybe for the company's sake the public will forgive you for this poor lack of judgment, however, this is the last movie my family and I watch that is produced by DreamWorks Animation.
