DOES THIS HAVE RACIAL OVERTONES?

More than 70% of their work has racial overtones. Does this one have as well?

I mean the whole premise involves a couple of suburban black guys pretending to be violent black gangsters (right down to changing their voice to sound more "gangster") so yeah there are racial elements in the film, all played for comedy. Definitely not something that's such a big deal that the post requires all capital letters, but that's just my opinion, haha.

The racial undertones were hard to ignore. I was extremely offended that NOT ONCE did the film show a person who is half-Chinese, half-Irish that was born in Sweden, grew up in Australia and followed the Muslim faith.
