They were funny, but a little crude in places.
And as for being racist, it is only racists if the viewer chooses to make it that way. Maybe being a Canadian makes it easier to not notice that stuff?
Do we call it racist when optimus, ironhide and rachet are saying funny things, cause they are protraying caucasians?
Or is it offensive to mute people because bumble bee can't talk?
No. they are simply characters in a movie that are given a personality. I simply looked at them as a couple of buds that enjoyed bantering.

If it wasn't intended racistic, or interpreted as such by the many that helped creating the movie, then it's all the eye of the beholder. Those that percieve it as racistic. The ones making the movie has not done any wrong.
Oversensitivity (and wishful thinking?).

i didn't find it racist at all but bay should've seen this coming.~Sado
Why would Bay see any of this coming... He wanted to have some comic relief in this film and he achieved that with these characters..
