Ben Hur, now this mess. What's next? Lawrence of Arabia starring Will Smith? LOL.

If minorities having speaking roles is considered "PC", I'm afraid to think of what OP thinks of Blazing Saddles and Shanghai Noon...

So this has comedy in it...it's not a documentary. It's not trying to be serious and it is trying to appeal to a modern audience. I actually like the multi-racial cast...each guy has his own niche and identity to play around with. You've got a mexican, native american, asian, black guy, bandits, etc...adds a lot of color.
I say go with it. Seems funny.
Please white male. Please regale me with tales of how oppressed you are. (A single tear has rolled down my cheek)
And in the midst of my sorrows, "I'll say a prayer for you....you know, just a little one".
