What We Think

'Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood' is a product of 90s parody, irreverent, unafraid to target any group, and blissfully free from most modern 'woke' tropes. It's non-woke at heart, lampooning rather than preaching.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little sign of ideological monoculture here, if anything, the movie lampoons ALL sides, mocking every type of character and viewpoint. No single modern ideological message dominates. Instead, it's a free-for-all of irreverent humor.
