Also, this isn't too correct either:
of the "good guys" who help Watson, not one is Anglo-Saxon
Unless you missed the scene where the (obviously) Anglo Saxon janitor with the mop helps Watson switch places with the bellboy. -

Hateful? i wouldn't go that far. Just a playful little 90-minute thriller
BUt of course there was a HUGE liberal slant to this movie. yes, the bad guys were mostly white and wealthy (and cheap, Mr. Smith couldn't even leave a tip while MR. Watson gave him a 20) and the good guys were blue-collar underdogs. and the hero was the white guy who could fight the Republican conspirators and save the moderate woman. Funny. It wasn't about race, only class and politics
Since i'm not so threatened by liberal socialist agendas or vast right-wing conspiracies (they're both parts of the same silent tyranny, i think), i could still enjoy the movie, which was silly fun.
I'll make gravy out of your little girl, just to season that Irish beep meat

I've seen some moronic posts on these boards but yours? You pitiful pool of slime - get a life!
Now now now - eeasy now.
While his motives might be questionable, his observations are mostly correct.
-The secutiry officers who were in on the assasination were whites, while Carlos - who took a bullet - was mexican/latin american.
-Same goes for the governor's "handler" the old guy as well as for her husbond.
-Most of the people helping him were black (the not-so-deaf veteran) or otherwise non-white.
Even for someone like me, not living in USA, it was quite noticeable.
-The OP might have racist motives or not. An equally interesting question goes for the director and the producers of the movies; which motives do
they
have for distributing the roles and actors as they did?!
There is nothing inside - and they rebuild it every 20th year. -

First and foremost, you are reading way too far into this rather shallow film. Its an entertaining and kinda silly thriller, Not a political hit piece.
Second, white-man has acted as a proverbial devil in almost every encounter with non-whites throughout history. So even if you were correct that this movie is portraying whites in a negative light(you aren't), the movie would still be accurate.
