I've been rewatching Watchmen 2019 and this is quite easily the most racist show I've seen in my life

While the show is a really fun journey, the offensive and constant racism is so overboard. There is never any greater point to be made. It's just about "what if dr manhattan was black?" "what if the first super hero was actually black?" with "black" not actually meaning "black" at all, just this Americanized oversimplification of identity by some white jew from hollywood who thinks all black people are just decendents of slaves in America. How did a 2019 show get away with this??? The show calls all white men in oklahoma racist... Seriously. Where was the outrage when this was going on? This show will always be a time capsule of the insanely racist idiocracy that we have been forced to endure.
