Well, from my point of view whites were indeed presented in a negative light (as were all races). In fact, I was embarrassed by how I felt. We should all be embarrassed by what we saw.
Sandra Bullock's character definitely took the brunt of the white sterotypes. She was always scared of other races. Remember at the beginning how she cowered when crossing paths with the two teen black males? Also, when she was having her locks changed she insisted that her husband have them redone because she thought that the Hispanic locksmith would "just turn right around and sell the master key to his homies". She was the humanization of the white steroetype that all whites are better than other races.
Another powerful scene was when she hurt her ankle, she needed a friend to help her, but her best friend was busy at the spa and didn't have time to come help her.
Brendan Frasier's character was depicted as the white crooked executive/politician whose values and worth are formed by how he will be perceived at a given moment.
Whites were depicted as elitist snobs who try to isolate themselves from minority races.
