I think you're being a bit harsh. By the time of both of those scense Galafanakas is already established as the morally loose tongued character of the film. If you're going to pick out those scenes, why not the "paging doctor faggot" or the "I can't be within 100 feet of a school" scene.
As for the portrayal of minorities in a film that is based on the exploits of three white leads. I think your forgetting that the majority of the supporting cast are minorities (with the exception of Rob Riggle and the ER doctor). Mike Tyson, Mike Epps, and Heather Graham and the black cop all come off pretty well and play important roles in the comedic experience of the film.
While overhyped and not as completely (all the way through) funny as other comedies, the Hangover is far from being the racist tripe you consider it. I'd probably consider the Jar-Jar Binks character in Phantom Menace to be a bigger issue.
If you want to see a truly racist film I suggest to find a copy of Song of the South.

Congratulations on choosing to not read what i said properly. I said half of my degree is on film. Because i love film and im good at film, i had the highest mark in my A level year for it. And how does film studies not hold any relvelance. Who do you think work in film production, screenwriting, direction, editing, camerawork, critical analyses etc.
And whilst you are calling me stupid how about you find out what i study for the other half of my degree, i study international politics/relations. And the course that i have been accepted on for my masters cource at Cardiff University (top 20 uk uni, sometimes top 10) is in political journalism. I was also given a scholarship to study at my uni, which has the best dept for international politics in the UK and one of the best in the world. And my film dept has one of the best research facilities in the UK.

So he can examine the social meanings and underlying messages behind the films.
You guys just have to realize that Jasper is a black and white guy. So he's likely to completely dismiss your opinions. Take into account that he doesn't mean to insult or belittle, he just disagrees, however curtly he displays it.

Please explain what you mean. How is every comedy film racist?
I havent seen Jar-Jar binxs for about 10 years so i wouldnt know about his racist credentials, theres no point in bringing one disney film for racism, a man singing about how much he loves slavery is fairly standard as disney goes. The worst racism i saw in a big film last year was transformers two.

There has also been considerable negative reaction to the characters Mudflap and Skids, who are alleged to embody racist stereotypes. Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said that "the characters [...] indicate that minstrelsy remains as much in fashion in Hollywood as when, well, Jar Jar Binks was set loose by George Lucas".[106] Critic Scott Mendelson said "To say that these two are the most astonishingly racist caricatures that I've ever seen in a mainstream motion picture would be an understatement".[107] Harry Knowles, founder of Ain't It Cool News, went further, asking his readers "not to support this film" because "you'll be taking [your children] to see a film with the lowest forms of humor, stereotypes and racism around".[108]
