Meant to add, commenting on the US population is exactly the point. You know where 75% of people aren’t white? Egypt, Jordan, India, the places where many of those artifacts could be in museums if they hadn’t been spirited away to the US/UK.

Good grief, I don’t doubt you meant it sincerely but the whole “criticizing racism is racist against white people” line is not a great look. I’m not trying to be an SJW or anything, just pointing out to the OP that the article is correct that Indiana Jones’ schtick is troublesome when it comes to attitudes to…

I love the Indy movies, but be real, dude, Temple of Doom is racist. I love it, I will always love it, but there is no way you can argue otherwise with a straight face.

A 2010 study suggested 89% of museum visitors were white. In 1938 (when Last Crusade is set) I can’t imagine it was much better.

Yeah, people looking at their society’s cultural output from a perspective outside their western colonialist worldview is definitely why Donald Trump is the president. It’s not at all because of self-proclaimed “western chauvantists” and their complete inability to do that, no sir.

The Indiana Jones movies are great, man. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have things that didn’t age well at all. Gunga Din (which Temple of Doom borrows liberally from) is a great movie, too. It’s also, like Temple of Doom, disgustingly colonialist. It doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it. Just be aware of how…

I love the Indiana Jones films. They have been embedded into my memory from a young age. I’ll sit down and watch any of the films. They are fun and witty, and they have one of the most winsome heroes in cinema and bad guys I love to hate.

That Professor who wrote the first letter sure seems like some kind of cunning linguist ...

I mean, I have been coming so hard home from work lately 'cause I’m excited to have dinner with you

People keep wondering if you “can have Trumpism without Trump.” There’s just no way. You’d basically need a 1992 Mazda Miata to come to life and start being racist to capture the sort of pretend luxury, name recognition, and racial grievance that Trump was able to capitalize on. It’s basically the same questions as…

It is *precisely* that false belief - that no politician could possibly be interested in serving the will of their constituents (and by extension, acting in good faith at all) - that permits populists to self-serve at the expense of the obstinately disillusioned.

You know, you can dislike Hillary Clinton without acting like she’s equivalent to an actual fascist

What?

Sure, but I think we can all agree that in America, at least, the biggest problem by far is the Christians. 

And so you should — the Religious Right has done far more damage to America than Communism and Leftist Extremism put together.

Price of admission?! Uh, no.

One of the things I liked about Man of Steel was that Lois figured out who he was in about 10 seconds flat and we mercifully were spared that incredibly tired bullshit of her not realising Superman and Clark are the same person.

So much missing the point in one paragraph

She has, literally, said that. She refuses to acknowledge the reality that trans women are women, and repeats fear-mongering lies about trans women and bathrooms, lies that directly lead to violence against trans men and women. She also supports virulent transphobes like Maya Forstater and supports transphobic…
