I grew up watching Will Smith, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Chris Tucker, Bill Cosby, Keenan and Kel, the list goes on. Never thought anything of it. At the risk of sounding like a boomer, I really didn't notice their race. When I watched Rush Hour I wasn't focusing on the fact that neither protagonist was white, because I didn't care, because it was a good movie that utilized their differences well.
But be honest. If a movie with an Asian/black duo came out today, what would your first thought be? If you said "I bet this is going to be woke race-baiting trash", you're far from alone. Which is a real shame. Rush Hour is one of my favorite movies, but today I'd never even give it a chance, and for good reason. Fool me once, and all that.
Same. I have a general rule not to watch anything made after 2014 with a few exceptions like Yellowstone. But yea if I see a black les show my first thought is that it will be a race thing. Denzel Washington is an exception since he is one of my favorites but for me to watch a show like that I’d have to get a recommendation from someone I trust.
Rush Hour was hilarious
