Nope, no one double checked, cause no one needed to because when this movie came out, we had a basic understanding of context and weren’t all so fucking easily offended by the slightest little thing that we could warp to fit whatever need for outrage and hysteria so we could make a Tik Tok in order to show how vigilant we were on everybody’s behalf, even when not wanted, needed or requested.
It was a movie about cars and street race, I never, not once, not me nor anyone I know, thought of it as anything else.
We live in this weird time when young people are more prudish and conforming than ever, while thinking they’re the edgiest generation of all time. So when they see old media making double entendres like this, they say “OMG how could they not realize this phrase has a sex / drug / race meaning! Hahaha, they’re so naive!”
No, it’s you that’s naive. Everyone in 2000 got the joke.
Writer A: It’s a play on words y’know. I think it’ll fit in and not cause any issue.
Writer B: yeah but “Race War” seems misleading. It’s a race not a fight.
Writer A: Who cares? It’s a movie about cars and action, there’s like 2 other movies releasing at the same time with a similar story. It’s not like this’ll get a sequel.

Sounds like it was written by Charlie manson
“We’re taking it back”
there’s a bunch of boys who are apparently very proud of their cars trying to kick off race wars all over the country
[It’s worse](https://www.german-racewars.com/)
I’ve been laughing at that for years now. Not a single person on the set or writing team said “hold on a second…”
Funny thing is, in the *original script* it was called “Street Wars” and they **changed it to Race Wars.**
When the cars break down they have reparations.
More of a race kerfuffle

Huh…never noticed.
Forget about it cuh
*Charles Manson has entered the chat* 👀
There used to be an online game called race war kingdom that got pretty popular at school.

2001 was a different time, my ~~friend~~ family.
Someone thinking “Race Wars” is an issue says a lot about how far we have fallen from 2001 to now.
I gotta tell Bill about this!
To see who is the biggest raciest

I too watched the Screencrush fast and furious recap.
Last time I went to race wars I got put on a watchlist. Lesson learned.
*Vin Diesel goes home and shaves his head clean*
In Germany we have a real drag event called German race wars…
I thought it was a reference to the pod race in Star Wars.
[We miss you Trevor Moore.](https://youtu.be/VYy77IGsBFc)
This was back in a time when people weren’t pussies about everything.
Back in a better time when race wasn’t important and people weren’t looking to get triggered for 5 seconds of attention

WKTK did a skit about this
zzzz call me when Class Wars starts.
*Meanwhile, back in 2001*

The real race war is vin trying to decide what ethnicity he’ll be in his next movie series.
We’re going to need a list of different ways you can say family, please 🙏
Ahh back in the day where people were not such sensitive, whiny bitches
It’s almost like context matters. Who could’ve known.
This was back in a time where everyone wasn’t so obsessivly concerned about the word “race”
I can’t wait to show off my car’s new pearlescent paintjob to the crowd as I take the 3rd right. WHITE POWER BABY!!!
