X-Men 2 is racist!!!

The attack of the SWAP teams on the mutant school is a copy from Waco, Texas. The motive used to order the attack is their possession of an stealth plane (guns in Waco).

Magneto to Pyro:
"You are a god between insects, don't let anyone tell you any diferent"

Well, I'd say X-Men 2 is about racism, yes. So was the comic series. that doesn't make it racist.

What the story (in the comics and the movies) does is present the reader/viewer with a choice: if you were likely to become a target of racism, would you react like Magneto... or like Xavier ?

Oh come on. My post was written with awful sarcasm and an smilie. You were not supposed to know if I was being serious or not.

Yeah, yeah, I know. That is called "mild trolling". Sorry, couldn't contain myself

. That movie was too easy a target, and popular enough so somebody would eventually bite.....

No problem. I've been a borderline troll myself more than once.
