By the bastardized definition of the Left?  Probably.  But I would pass on it anyway, since Hollyweird will only take this period piece and make it look like the same racists bastards are still holding the black man down today.  So if I don't go, I won't feel offended.

Sectionhand, just start with the premise that everyone to the Right of Joe Lieberman is a spittle-flecked racist, frothing at the mouth, holding a noose in one hand and a bullwhip in the other. Only by admitting who we really are can we be truly free.

The reviews are almost universally crappy . I wasn't planning on going anyway . I assume it breaths new life into the bullsh*t myth that they never lost a bomber which they escorted .

I don't see how I could be called a racist just because I don't want to watch a bunch of nigglets flying jiggy boo jets! (OK, props)

It's a LucasFilm. No one will blame anyone for avoiding anything tainted by the involvement of George Lucas.

Maybe Jar-Jar Binks will make a cameo as a Jamaican-American fighter pilot.

I heard a rumor Lucas was actually accused of racism because the planes landing gear didn't have 20" spinners.
