Line 11:
* [[Scary Minority Suspect]]: Like many other race tropes, subverted in this movie. Louis is thrust into this when two black cops mistake him for a similar looking perp.
* [[Stereotype Flip]]: The entire movie has blacks and white reversing stereotypes. The white Louis' form of speech is very street-wise, whereas the black Thaddus is much more articulate. One minor difference is that the music of shady ghetto youth is heavy metal instead of rap.
*
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Thaddeus gives Louis this after he almost escapes him. Ignorant of what Louis has gone through up until his kidnapping, he insists that all of his short-comings are his fault, and his fault alone.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: The entire society has been Race Flipped, with blacks really in charge of government, business, and above all, the media. Just the sheer implications of this are staggering, (check out ''[[CSA: Confederate States of America]]'' for an ironic inversion of the idea). Instead the story focuses on a stock murder plot.
