Was Revolutions RACIST?
Neo died, and Trinity died, so did Zee's friend (white)! Morpheus, Niobe, Link, and Zee were really only the main characters left (not white)... and the kid, but he doesn't count.
Just something I thought about when watching it for a fourth time, I don't mean to cause any problems, it was just something that I noticed. Perhaps something on the Buddhism side?
Was Revolutoions racist?
No. Neo DIDN't die, neither did Harmann. And who gives a damn about the freakin' skin-colour anyways?!?!?!?!?!?

I don't, it's just something interesting that I noticed... OK my friend noticed it and I was just curious to see what everyone else thought... I thought it was a bit off, but hey, can't hurt to post... or at least I think.... plus my friends are dense and that bit of Neo dying rubbed off on me...
SorryDidn't mean anything really big by it

JKozzy> Check out the "Ascertain the Fate of the One" thread (should be on this page still). There was some one some time ago who started a thread on ZION being racists, because there were a lot of coloured people there - It didn't end SO well.
So I'm keeping a close eye on this thread.

I really didn't mean anything by it, I figure that there would be a reason for the colored people, since I'm sure most of those people have different beliefs, and many believe this world isn't the real "world", that after death there is one, I meant this in a slightly-more mature way, sorry if the thread title was a bit extreme.
Um just wondering, why U just picked Revolutions, why not the other two , they were all written by the same people, so are U really trying to say... was the writters racist, Hmmm. I don't think I want to go down that road.

I wasn't a big fan of Reloaded and I haven't seen Revolutions but there is no way that the Matrix could be Racist. If you meant to make a gag in this topic maybe you should change the title. It does bring attention and maybe some ignorant remarks as well. JMHO.
Do people really use the word "colored" anymore. I don't think that is politicly correct
Angelsolovely 's all colors.

just to nitpick here, keanu reeves is of mixed asian/polynesian and caucasian ancestry, so is technically not white. but this is a pointless question from smeone who needs to maybe go back and see the movies for what they are, just movies.
He is not asian, he is part hawiian, I saw it on the E! True Hollywood Story the day before yesterday.

what do you think polynesian means, besides that many hawaiians are also of mixed asian descent, predominantly chinese, japanese, and filipinos, and yes, keanu does have chinese ancestry. FROM KEANUNET.COM:Keanu Charles Reeves was born September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon, to Samuel Nowlin Reeves (half-Hawaiian, half-Chinese) and Patric Taylor (English).
Oops, my bad, his father is chinese/hawiian, his mother is english.
