Attack of the clones racist? - Page 2

Sir Kenyth · 05-20-2002, 12:54 PM

Yes, I can see it now. All Latino actors and actresses are made to play the role of bad guys. Like Zorro, oooops wait, he was the hero. Well then, you certainly don't see white people ever playing the role of villians! Look at Arnold Schwartzenegger and Robin Williams! Oooops! I guess there was that Terminator incident and Robin is playing in that new movie as a psychotic. I wonder if getting the hero roles has anything to do with popularity, the years you've been acting, and actors choices? Hmmmmm! I'll get back to you.

OH, THANK YOU, Ms Guzman, for taking care of all of us Hispanics who are too dumb to read for ourselves. Thank you for being in the intellectual community, while we poor ignorant peons wallow in the muck of ignorance.

this is nothing more than some whiney leftist intellectuals(well,they think they're intellectuals)who desperately want to be taken seriously.so they create problems where none exists.but what these idiots are missing in all this is that the empire seems to consist of north-west europeans,in other words,brits,with a smattering of others.

You know, Lucas did make a great movie, everybody loves it, so ofcourse they have to find something to bash it for. Remeber the field day the media had when the fans were disapointed in TPM? well they can't have ass much fun now so they read something totally stupid to throw at people and hope they will swallow it... and unfortunatly... some will.

Heh, Eddie Izzard, a British comedian, says that Lucas did that cause American's are still pissed about the revolution.

On a very-related note: Cesar Chavez, the father of the Latino Movement, said that these "quasi-intellectual Latinos in the government" were the biggest obstacle to Latinos realizing our potential as a strong group in the USA. He said that we could become leaders to bring the USA to its dream of equality. But the Latinos in the government were holding us, as a group, back. :rant mode off:

Didn't you know that "intellectuals" are usually some of the stupidest people around? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Given some of the bonehead things I've seen said in this very forum by the "soi-disant" intelligentsia, I'll definitely say "Yay" to that! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well it is quite obvious that there is only one possible solution here to this dellema. No human being on earth can ever be portrayed as a bad guy/women/child in any media, to do otherwise will be a racist statement against whatever ethnic group portrays a bad guy/woman/child. So it's really simple, no more bad guys/women/children. Now that will make the picture entertainment industry interesting.
