Part of a pattern of seeing racism that isn't there maybe.

"More insidious are Leslie’s and Lee’s paths to faith, both of which are enabled by very patient black people."

There were a lot of bad decisions with this horrible film, but the biggest and most obvious is the downgrading of the possessing agent from Satan to some sort of African demon.

Endless River isn't really a new album; it's basically all stuff that was recorded during the sessions for Division Bell.

The Persians were played primarily by Caucasian actors with a Mediterranean phenotype (one or two were portrayed by black actors). Only a racist Nordicist would see them as "brown aliens".

I think if you saw the Persians in the first "300" as "a bunch of alien ass looking brown bitches" it is you who is the racist, projecting your own iniquity onto others. I saw no "alien looking brown bitches", but I guess to a racist Anglocentric anyone swarthier than a Frenchmen looks like a "brown alien".

Actually race is about genetics, and denying that race has a basis in biology and that race is just a "social construct" is really just as absurd as religious crazies who deny evolutionary biology and insist species were "created" just as they are now.

By the way Santa, just curious; do you think the movie "Frozen" is racist also?

Ichi probably thinks "Frozen" was racist too (it depicts Scandinavians as *gasp* white). Believe it or not, there actually are people saying this.

The irony here is that most Iranians would regard the Western white liberals view of them as "people of color" as far more racist and condescending than anything in this silly movie.

It's low brow entertainment for sure. Good for what it is; visually compelling, historically dubious (as any reasonably intelligent person would expect of a movie based on a comic book account of history). I think a fair criticism would be to say it glorifies war and violence (things which really ought not be…

You are seriously confused. What most Americans think of Iranians or how dissimilar they are is irrelevant. I never even mentioned Americans.

"300: Rise Of An Empire depicts a war between white people and brown people"
