This is a Jordan Peele flick. I think it was meant to be a little tongue in cheek. I actually think the writing was pretty smart and witty. Also, it's 2017 yes but for a LOT of people institutionalized racism is still a very present factor in their lives. Agree completely that people shouldn't be saying "kill all white people" that's not productive either but I think this movie is a sort of hyperbolized way of having conversations about interracial relationships and race in general. Also thought Daniel Kaluuya gave a great performance.
