Will this be PC?

In the trailers I have not seen any bad black guys. I guess its only whites that do street crimes.

We'll see... The thing is Eli Roth isn't known to be a PC director and the original wasn't PC at all, but it was a product of it's times, especially the street violence...
Also, the rapists in the original were white dudes, but the street thugs weren't...
I wonder if the movie is set in current times, or not... If it is, it could be interesting... Then again, I wonder if they'll just turn it into a franchise product... I can imagine someone pitching a studio executive the idea that this would be a John Wick style series with wider commercial appeal...
I don't want to speculate too much, as it was a bit ridiculous how people got worked up over Black Panther and it ended up being incredibly mild...

I could have sworn in the first trailer he kills a black guy that shoots a black kid that comes to his hospital after getting shot. I dont think it will be PC at all. But be ready for the SJWs to get triggered by the gun violence! And the 'its wrong to show people being vigilantes' screaming. But dont forget its cool if a woman gets bloody and violent revenge on people...cause you know...feminism.

Saw it... Not PC, but not really a race movie either... It's a vigilante justice movie... Worth checking out...
The Ice Cream man scene blew me away!
