Pitch Perfect 2 with Racism???

Last week, I was able to watch the latest movie of Pitch Perfect 2! The movie was a great comedy, but I realized that the plot of the movie was actually pretty awful. The jokes it contained throughout the movie showed a sense of racism and I strongly feel that American movies are beginning to become an extreme for racism because typical Americans find the jokes hilarious. In the movie, the character of Flo played by Chrissie Fit was a user of racism of her own race. Her character always related to being deported after she finished college and hopping the border and getting away from America because of her Latino/ Mexican descent. I found this extremely funny, but at the same time it was really terrible how they depicted the character through this racism. However, the movie was a decent movie and I fully recommend going to watch the movie because of its comedic events, but if your just going for the A Cappella  then the movie won't be as enjoyable because the music played was quite awful. Another actor in the movie was Keegan Key of Key and Peele that made the movie even more enjoyable and an appearance from the Packers Clay Matthews showing off his dance moves and singing ability off the football field. I feel that the racist jokes didn't pay off that much because some people may take offense to the jokes said in the movie, however racist jokes is what makes America thrive and what makes other countries dislike America. Go purchase your own tickets to the movie and witness these racist jokes yourself and remember to "Stay Frosty My Friends" and I'll be back shortly.

  1. Not even gonna lie, Pitch Perfect slaps! But I totally agree that our media today is extremely racist and the only reason we keep producing the racism is for the money. We know it's wrong, but in today's world we don't care about people's feelings we only see the green if you know what I mean. And while yes it's funny at times, if you were to use the role exchange test, you would realize that some of the joke just go over the border and are terrible. But I believe that's how our society is today, money is valued more than relationships.
