Alright, so, I recently got to thinking, in a lot of action movies, there seems to be a common theme, or underlying theme.

Take for example the two most infamous action series ever made.
Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. Both of these movies featured white racists, and had a lot of underlying vibe's of how evil white people are.
First, I would like to make a small criticism on your composition style and say that it would have been really nice if you had stated your point before offering your evidence. As it is, I actually can't make out exactly what you're trying to say. It's also good to conclude with your point but, in my opinion, it's more important to state it first so that I can see why you're bringing up the evidence that you are and how that evidence is relevant.

Secondly, I think we can all agree that Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are famous but why do you say that they are infamous?

Quote:
Die hard one- Main bad guy, German, Neo-Nazi type
Die hard Three- His brother

Lethal weapon 2- Neo nazi south american folk.

Now, those are the obvious ones, some of the less obvious fuck whitey messages comes in various ways. Perhaps i'm looking to closely, but take the matrix, reloaded/revolutions. In both of them, the majority of the people in Zion were not white, and they were the worlds "last hope".

Also, the movie Strange Days had a huge and blatently stated anti white message.
Again, I'm not exactly sure what your point is. Is it that there is a new trend of white antagonists in movies today? Or that it is a trend of white racist antagonists? If so then isn't it a little weird that all the movies you stated had white protagonists? I mean, the villain may be white but so is the hero, so what's the problem? It's hard to see any "anti white" messages here...
