“There are two robots in the film called Mudflap and Skids, and despite being red and green, respectively, they are voiced in a way that clearly designates them to be the “black” robots. Also, Skids has a gold front tooth (no, I’m serious) and both cannot read.” – “Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen,” now with 75% more racism. [via Movieline]
