I'm reserving judgement till I see the movie. It's getting a great reception in Canada, and I've heard that it's very good. Clinton might be right on the mark with his reaction to this one.

The best way to discredit racism, I would think, is to make outrageous fun of it in the most extreme and blatant manner (as Lenny Bruce did, for example), not to engage in long-winded, holier-than-thou moral diatribes, which is what people usually do when they are desperate to prove to everyone how totally unprejudiced and wonderful they are themselves.
