Calling Transformers 2 racist is accurate because it either (significantly) reveals the filmmakers passive ignorance or their active bigotry. This scene just reveals the characters' mild, but nonetheless present, jingoism. Bigotry is just another facet to add to a character; and is almost unavoidable in the scope of painting a real picture of a real dead-end, insanely frustrating investigation. Especially since they know that they're getting the run-around by these guys, it is even a tool to be used. The guy that they blew up on has to be commended for not breaking in the slightest when being insulted, since showing even a flicker of understanding could blow their language-barrier cover. Great scene, though. The show always has the best bits of levity in it.

From the commentary or an interview(I can't recall): the whole time, Gbenga Akinnagbe was saying to himself, "don't look at the camera, don't look at the camera, don't look at the camera..." ......

I would say the former. He is deliberately shedding his childhood to become an adult; and Dukie is an anchor that will never become an adult. Even though his childhood is forever gone. Acknowledging the memory to Dukie would just start a reminiscing conversation with, who is now, a worthless junkie, and that is both weak and pointless in The Game.

As well as Michael B Jordan and Wood Harris being together in Creed.

It's a pretty cool effect, actually. And people don't so much want to tell the truth, rather they want to tell the story right. Apparently, an embarrassing amount of confessions are netted by the detective telling a wrong version of the story, and just letting the suspect correct them.
