Any modern adaptation really has to get rid of the racism in those old works

Why if they're based on another time?

Is any of you actually Indian? I for one hate this sympathy racism where a bunch of white people get offended about racism and like someone here said Indians themselves laughed at the scenes in TOD and couldn't care less. There is also a difference between a race and a culture. I've seen so many American shows to know they use all the old stereotypes about every culture (Russia, Germany, Britain, The Neatherlands etc.) which would be considered very racist if the people there weren't white. I think it's a bit ridicilous that when the skin color changes, it suddenly becomes racist. I'm kind of a "make fun of us all or then about no one" type of guy.

So how about those underrated sequels? Are there actually any underrated prequels? I can't think of any.
