My first thought as well.
A very funny movie that is NOT RACIST at all. Apparently they’re not many people that remember this classic.
A number of years ago I happen to catch this movie again on some cable channel. I began watching with my liberal GF and she was appalled that they were “ALLOWED” to show this film. We continued watching and before long, she was laughing out loud.
I reminded her of the preconceptions she had at the beginning. Needless to say, that didn’t go over very well.
