How Do White People Feel About This Movie?


I've read around on social media that a lot of white people felt Get Out was "anti-white" or "racist against white people." I feel like the only way you could be truly offended by this movie is if you were an actual racist, as this movie holds a fun-house mirror up to racists showing a distorted, disturbing version of what you own hatred could turn into.

I can't imagine a non-racist feeling targeted by this movie, as it's just that, a movie (thank God, although American slavery did actually happen). I'm curious how white people felt watching this? If you felt it was racist to have white villains, why so?

Not racist at all just a bit predictable and no mystery. Bad lead actress other than that good movie

I'm white and the evil white bad guys didn't bother me any more than when a movie has white people doing bad things to other white people. I found myself rooting for the good guy they were victimizing just the same, black or white.
