The race problem: as progressive as America is, there has already been racial backlash. 

In my experience, many other regions have considerably worse relations with PoC.

pah, racial backlash is a joke. Quit listening to the media. Sure there may have been a facebook group or some people that are racists out there that are idiots. But like I heard the other day where white supremacist group in the US has 500 some members. That is 500 out of like 320 million americans. That is like .000001% of the population.  The media would like to let you think that 50% of the population is white supremacists.

The group of people moaning about this movie are also probably less than a hundred, no more than a thousand.

I didn't respond to him because I too have experienced it myself.  I just didn't want to give it power and I do believe we need to have more faith in each other.  However I just want to let you know after watching the thousands of Neo Nazis march in SC last year that you can't make it better by saying it isn't a problem.  When I was oversees, I was at a hotel where people refused to serve me.  Did it suck?  Of course, but I'm gonna be better than them and I am gonna to tell you that yes, there are more normal people out there than haters.  This is the life I have been given and its mine.
