What exactly happened in the movie get out ? - eviltoast

Like if they were white people put in black people’s body why do they work like slaves and act like robots ? As we know the black peoples mind is trapped as only a passanger why would the rich, loved asshole white people who are in charge work like slaves especially because the main one in movie were basically their grand parents? And also why would racist people want to be black ? The only answer i can think of is the plot wasn’t that much thought out and they just ran with it and the people praising this movie does’nt care about plot holes which sucks because these are crucial aspects of this movie . Am i missing something ?

    Racist-lite, I love it.

    I had to explain this concept to my friend using Asian fetish to understand. The guy who runs up to asian people, shows off his chopstick skills, talks about Asian things, hits on Asian women, and always gives preferential treatment simply because the person is Asian.

    Still racism.

      I want to say that the name for that style of racism actually comes from how aggressively it happened to Asian culture, but I’m drawing no results when I try to find the term.

      The style of racism where you mysticise a culture to the point where you overlook that they’re actually “people” and not just some abstract magic culture beyond the ken of our western understanding or whatever.
