No,I'm just saying that it only seems that people call racism when there is Africans involved.
Harhol, honestly why should I be ashamed? Why do you think we send millions of dollars of aid to the region as I pointed out?
Trust me, if Africa was a bastion of well fed, well educated, happy, people... just like us here except for the color of their skin... why the heck would the UN/USA be delivering all that aid? Why would it be a full time job for the peace corps. Are you trying to tell me that all of this stuff is faked, and that groups like The Red Cross are racist conspiricies out to promote a negative image of Africa?
By all means, next time we see a "OMG, we must stop the genocide" news report, jump right in there and tell everyone that it's a lie, and all those villagers and refugee camps and such are paid actors working for the worldwide anti-africa conspiricy.
Since by disagreeing with me, this is basically what your saying.

The movie 300 is rallying cry for Facism? 
Let me explain something to you, the US has gone soft and really all "300" did was show the differance between a true warrior attitude and what we have now. Granted it WAS a bit overblown.
It should also be noted that the whole reason why this was considered to be a legendary act of heroism is that had they not done this, the roots of democracy would have died.
The movie doesn't really focus on Xerxes or what the Persian empire was all about, but trust me... things like the US and our current ethics came from the Republics that only existed because Greece was never conquered.
The movie (and graphic novel) also focus on that one specific event, and on one specific king.
If I was you I'd read up on Athens and Sparta and what eventually happened between them and why.

A racially homogenous band of oiled sweaty he-men take on the multi-ethnic hordes (complete with monsters) lead by a glammy, androgynous king.Therumancer said:The movie 300 is rallying cry for Facism?

The roots of democracy, however, weren't in Sparta (as much as some old French guys liked to pretend). And what's 300's take on Athens? Oh, yeah, that's right: "those boy-lovers". Go-go democracy!Therumancer said:
Watch the old 300 Spartans. It's not an eye-candy-riddled goretastic slo-mo-fest and it makes all the mistakes that historical epics of its day made, but it's at least something that shows you how to capture most of the story without turning it into one big romp of masturbatory nationalist myth-making.

It's really not all that hard to avoid them if you have a brain.Gamine said:
Most of the common tropes relating to Africa are pretty damn fucking racist.
A good writer understand tropes and knows how to avoid the bad ones.
A bad writer doesn't understand how to do anything but regurgitate tropes uncritically, and has only a vague awareness of what the tropes he's using actually signify, so he just slaps a bunch of them together at random and hopes they make sense.
In other words, they're too dumb not to make it racist.

I just bought resident evil 5 today and I still haven't seen my character once command a black zombie eating fried chicken to tend to the cotton fields, referring to the zombie as "N word" Zombie.
The reviewer is obviously a complete moron.
The enemies are appropriate for where the game is set. No'one slated Resi4 for killing spaniards after all. So I dont see a problem.
People are only seeing racism because theyre looking for it.
