What We Think

Meet the Blacks is much more concerned with slapstick humor and parody than with pushing woke themes. It doesn't seem interested in rewriting cultural narratives or enforcing an ideological monoculture. Fairly non-woke fare by Hollywood standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Meet the Blacks is primarily a comedic parody with no significant emphasis on forced representation or ideology over story. The casting fits the genre and premise, and characters are played for laughs over political statements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't prioritize cultural or traditional subversion, religion, masculinity, and family are played for comedic effect. There's no major assault on classic values, and it relies more on irreverence than social commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the humor is irreverent, the film doesn’t aggressively push a modern ideological agenda or marginalize alternative worldviews. The satire is broad and not focused on preaching any one ideology.
