Dear White People, the minimum requirement of black friends needed to not seem racist has been raised to two .Sorry, your weed man Tyrone does not count!
Just like that, the upcoming Dear White People movie moved into highly controversial territory.
The trailers (both standard and the recent red band) touch on scenarios that call out the casual racism still acted out in a supposedly post-racial America.
Although the statements and questions raised by the lead character Samantha White may seem outlandish to some white Americans, for far too many African Americans her rants represent everyday reality.
Here are some things called out in the trailers which, if you are doing them, are indeed racist.

“Dear White People”
may just be answered by Daniel Carver’s
“Wake up White People”
so ‘Wake up Black People’, you may be pushing things too far. Try being productive members of society and quit backing strong arm thieves and thugs.
LOL!
Not sure, whether White people taking sun bath is “Racism” or not.
Could you imagine what would happen if someone made a “Dear Black People” movie?
"Wait till Otis sees us....He LOVED US!"
Never call your daughter a slut because:
If You’ve Got the Name You May As Well Have the Game!
I don’t give a damn.
I think the hispanics are tough, very judgmental in all ways.
But, if they like you, they love you, it’s a Latin thing, which includes Italians of course.
Not sure about the French, I’ve only met about 2 French people in my entire life. They seem to just look down their noses at everyone, but of course that’s a stereotype.
Frenchwomen have the greatest style, and the accents - they are the best!
Dear black people: Stop being thin skinned crybabies looking to blame your lazy worthless selves on white people and stop crying racism.
Addressing "examples" on racism to "white people" instead of "some white people" is racist.
Saying that black people can't be racist is racist.
I could go on and give more examples and make a movie about it...but then what chance does a white guy have in the movie industry of making such a movie?
The question is rhetorical of course. The answer is, no chance.
I confess. I’m a racist.
Every day I walk up to black people and ask them if I can touch their hair.
It’s a white thing.
Blacks comprise about 2.5% of the Canadian population, vs. 12.2% in the U.S.A. Also, the vast majority of Black Canadians (yes, that is the politically-correct term here) are recent immigrants, or descendants of voluntary immigrants.
Also, here in British Columbia, only 0.8% of the population are Black Canadians. These Black Canadians might feel a little overwhelmed if (on average) 150 “White” Canadians were clamoring to be their “close friend”. I suspect that they’d be more than happy with nodding acquaintances.
Meanwhile, over 20% of the population is of Asian extraction (most concentrated in the cities). Strangely enough, no Black Canadian is judged racist, if he has no Asian friends. Also, almost every “white” urban British Columbian could name at least two Asian Canadian friends; if given some time to think about it — because we mostly don’t obsess about race.
1) Rude people are everywhere. My daughter has very, very fine blonde hair. People are always touching it - with or without her permission (she's 30). As bald men (of all races) if they like strangers touching or rubbing their heads.
2) If you don't want people to use your typical dress as a Halloween costume, don't wear a cultural uniform (that goes for the ghetto look, goth, nerd, emo, surfer, and so forth).
And, dear author of the article, the fact that you addressed your letter to white people shows just how racist you are.
Indeed.
Dear Black People: Seriously go F yourself!
I work very hard at avoiding any contact with black people.
I have no animus toward them.
It’s just life is simpler this way.
Meanwhile, over 20% of the population is of Asian extraction (most concentrated in the cities). Strangely enough, no Black Canadian is judged racist, if he has no Asian friends.
I tried to be a racist but I got caught helping a black teenager get his car started. The next day I got a call Racist Central telling me to surrender my Cracker Card.
I dunno about this movie, but I do think “whiter than Michael Jackson’s kids” is a pretty good line.
