Yes, but intent doesn't really matter, in many ways. In some cases, where a person realizes his or her mistake and apologizes for being culturally insensitive, intent can be noted, though it can't be completely excused. But, much of this is pretty darned obvious. I mean, sheesh, they might as well have entitled it…

::eyeroll:: I'm sorry you can't read. It's sad.

I know. But, I could see them being intimidating. They've got a history of that sort of thing.

Yes. So do I. That's why, when the person who did this to me started talking about her MA and her education and why that made her qualified to discuss the Native American experience (while not actually being Native American), I discussed my PhD, emphasizing how unimportant it was in this particular fight.

Yeah, the Chinaman part was not so great.

Holy crap. He's talented. I hope Disney doesn't sue. They are ridiculously litigious, even when they shouldn't be able to be.

Right! Are the woman and her boyfriend getting arrested for blackmail? And I don't understand why he had to leave his job.

I'm with you. I don't get it.

I thought it was kind of sweet, actually. A little over the top, but not too obnoxious.

I don't have $750. Alas. Or, I would spend that money and just eat noodles for a year.

I was just thinking that. Time to watch the DVDs. Yay! I hope everyone comes back for the movie.

I loved the promo. I watched it four times. This is sad, I know. I may go watch it again.

They hit 2,000,000 in less than a day. I bet it approaches three million now before the end of the day. Sigh. So happy. I would so love this.

::eyeroll:: Are you kidding? Just stop. You're just trolling now.

I remember ALL the comments. You're just ignoring them all. I've answered your question twice. I'm not answering it again. This is boring. I think it's Redface. People who are Native American think it's Redface. It's pretty damned clear. But, hey! You have to tell those people like it is, right? Sigh. So much…

::headdesk::

Well, I didn't say she was stupid. I said the disconnect/her behavior was stupid. But, then, she's free to come back at me with her education ... oh wait! She threw that in EVERYONE'S face from the first post. No need.

No, not because I say it does. But, the author has much more weight in this argument than I do. And I agree with her.

Yes, it is. Blackface was used in minstrel shows and in other types of entertainment, etc. to mock and show the "stereotypical" African American. It was, of course, racist because it appropriated elements from the culture and changed them to represent a white person's view of that culture in that time period. Redface…

::eyeroll:: Can't come up with an actual argument, eh? Bless your heart.
