Casablanca

I'm sorry, but for a so-called great movie - and it's inarguably got a lot of great aspects to it - but it's high time to consign Casablanca to the ash-heap of political correctness and move on. It's just time. It's high time. The time has come! We have to put this one behind us. Why? Because it's racist!

All throughout the movie, the black guy keeps calling that other guy "boss." He shouldn't be calling that guy "boss!" It's racist!

That black guy's a real racist. It ruins the whole movie. Who can even watch it at this point, given our now-elevated perspectives and sensibilities?

It's a shame, really. Because parts of the movie really stand out. Why'd they have to mar it with that sordid racist bit of business, I'd like to know.
