They've been around since 1994, at least.

Atticus Finch was a hero to most,
but he never meant shit to me, you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain

Bornheimer was also in the Veronica Mars movie as the douchey hedge fund guy! He's having a banner week.

Harvard moved to the H/P/LP/F scale in 2009, so Harvard doesn't even give regular As.

I think you mean Melissa Fumero at the end there.

Honestly, I felt the only reason the Wire homage worked was because they made it obvious - especially with Mike using the highlighter to mime Bunk's omnipresent cigar.

I thought it was pretty clear when Connie asked for her CI money in advance after finding out that her son had been placed with a foster family that Connie had relapsed.

Sure, not Latino, but certainly not "white Englishman" without some seriously raised eyebrows.

This is just actively wrong. Your logic applies solely to casta - he is a criollo, and that's your issue here. The problem is that race is very much defined by social context, and when you're a Mexican living in America (I don't believe he ever got citizenship), turns out the social context isn't interested in Spanish…

It can't be "Girls for gays," it's already cast someone who isn't white.

Jerry is probably a black slave who has learned a trade, a group that (unlike house slaves, who worked in better conditions but with nearly or actually equal horrific treatment, whatever Tarantino may think) actually did get treated with a bit more dignity.

The library scene reads like it comes from a different movie, because Stephen never again approaches that kind of equality/standing. The fact that he plays minstrel in the dining room runs against the "he benefits" argument, because he's clearly still got to perform even as if he didn't enforce slavery norms. The…

Does he? Because that's neither seen nor implied. He plays minstrel, sure, but that's awfully scarce for his 30 pieces. He's not treated with any more respect than Sheba, who is spared at the end.

It's arguably a reference to Spaghetti Westerns, which filmed in Italy-pretending-to-be-Montana.

About 2.5 hours of this movie was a fantastic, incisive, smart and self-aware blaxploitation film that doubled as commentary on exploitation in media (I read the Aussie scene as Tarantino basically acknowledging that he's a white profiteer off America's messed up history with race and slavery), but am I the only one…
