I'm a white chick and I don't take offense to this at all. I used to watch the Wayan's on that television show "In Living Color" and they made fun of everyone...whites, blacks, and so on.

BTW....there was a movie made back in the early eighties about a white guy posing as a black guy in order to get a free scholarship to college. He wore black make-up on his face....the movie was horrible though.

I'm a 'white chick' too and I think the movie looks pretty funny. I was planning on seeing it. (At home-on DVD) Let's keep our sense of humor guys. :-)

Shawn and Marlon weren't the funny ones. Never have been. (Damon and Keenan Ivory were.)

One of the things that made In Living Color popular (and now to a lesser extent The Chapelle Show) is that they are "allowed" to make fun of black stereotypes in ways that whites would be castigated for in this PC world.

(Interesting that on In Living Color they also made fun of gays and the handicapped. So I guess, at least at that time, that "black" trumped everything.)

There have been a lot of movies like this, like In Living Color,etc. White Chicks is a MOVIE, and it's looks stupid so a person doesn't like it don't go see it. Muchado about nothing IMHO.

In Living Color was one of the funniest shows that ever graced the tube. Do you remember Jim Carrey as Fire Commissioner Bill?

I agree. They are pretty talented and made fun of everyone across the board.
