SJWs Already Screaming Racist! Fascist! — 'Death Wish' Remake Puts Vigilante Willis In Hoodie
Yes Death Wish was always racist...but that's the ####ing point. Are we not going to point out something is racist because it's always been?

Alexander's charge of racism is absurd. Watch the trailer again. The primary bad guys, the thugs who kill Kersey's wife, look to be white, which is also true in the original film.
In fact, in all five of the original Death Wish entries the primary villains are white. In the one that started it all, the hoodlums who murder Kersey's wife and rape his daughter are white (good grief you can't get any whiter than Jeff Goldblum). The street gang that finishes off Kersey's family in part two (one of the greatest movies ever made) are of mixed race. In part three, the gang is also mixed, but the leader, the arch-villain, is so white he has freckles.
In chapters four and five, the action moves from street gangs to white mobsters and corrupt tycoons.
