Saw it, liked it, already sent it back to Netflix. What struck me was Mike Judge’s willingness to be so completely un-PC by including among the idiots of the future such a large dose of blacks and Hispanics engaging in ghetto behavior. Sure, most of the morons were white, which makes perfect sense, but too often in films — even over-the-top satires — that are making what are considered sensitive points, the characters representing something disreputable have to be white, while the characters representing rectitude are black or Hispanic (or gay or Muslim, as Mark Steyn was criticized in today’s DC Examiner for noting). I know this isn’t an original point, but popping that balloon is something we’ve come to expect from the man who wrote a character saying, “What the hell kind of country is this where I can only hate a man if he’s white?”
