when will people learn that all races are inferior to robots.

in all seriousness, why are people still arguing about race, and skin colour, who the fuck cares. i dont care if someone is white or black, ignorance is bliss.

Confirmation Bias [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias]

If you expect racism and look for racism, you can find racist messages in white noise. It's funny - many odious beliefs are held alive in great part by the people, that claim to be victims of them.
Way to focus on the white noise, you racist.

Anyways, OT: This guy is clearly seeing racism where there is absolutely none, just like so many other people keeping racism alive and well nowadays.

Wow, and I thought the accusations of Ashley from Mass Effect being 'racist' were full of shit.

This is just idiocy on a whole other scale though. I mean apart from pretty much everything they use as arguments being based on coincidence..why on Earth was 'Zoo-keeper' relevant to anything?

I wonder if after the debut of 'The Big Picture' people are thinking that ridiculously overthinking things with evidence that's not there is something to make a career out of.

Reading to much into any movie makes it offensive to someone. you just have to know what to look for, and I must say that no where in UP is there ever a link made to support such a silly accusation.

Looking hard enough, you can find racism and bigotry any and everywhere. It's all part of the human experience after all. I've seen Up a couple of times and I never noticed the ethnicities of the male nurses who came to take Old-Man away to the home. I remember him calling the well-dressed contractors a bunch of hippies though. That could easily be seen as an anti-peace statement. His taking leave of the U.S. by means of flying house can also be seen as downright anarchic.

Oh wait...I forgot this was about racism. Social upheaval wasn't really Walt's thing. Walt was more into doodling the seven Dwarves with Uncle Adolf (If certain people and, doodles found on Hitler's property/person are to be believed)

I prefer this method: ignore the comments and they go away. The ones on youtube anyway.

Wait, silly accusations of racism and very poor grammar that even a fifth grader would frown upon on Youtube?! YOUTUBE!?

..How is this surprising? Youtube comments is worse than 4Chan in terms of trolls and cesspool "discussions". Moving on!

The key word is YouTube. Their "community" is filled with trolls who make accounts to troll videos as opposed to sharing videos.

You can find bias/prejudice in anything if you want to. People see what they expect to see.


Also, the statements involving Obama should be an indicator of this persons credibility. Up was released only a few months after Obama took office. The movie was in production long before he came to the lime light, let alone eleceted president.

Well its youtube, what do you expect?
But if this guy is serious, he fails at realizing if you look hard enough you can find symbolism about anything in anything.

agreed, thread complete

whats Piaget?
Jean Piaget was a developmental psychologist in the mid-20th century that sort of pioneered the idea that we develop these generalizations as a way of making sense of the world, and that these "schemes" (as he called them) shaped our neural pathways.

For instance, child meets a cat for the first time. Child notices a few things about the cat and creates a schema for "cat"--it's hairy, has four legs, and has a tail. From that point forward, anything fitting that description is "cat." Then the child meets a dog for the first time. The existing schema dictates this is "cat," because it has hair, four legs, and a tail. Someone in authority tells the child, "No, sweetie, that's a dog." Now the child has to adapt that schema to account for this new (seemingly contradictory) information. So, now "cat" is "hair, four legs, tail, short nose, pointy ears" and "dog" is "hair, four legs, tail, long nose, floppy ears."

Where these can become prejudices is when a person (or their individual schemes) become old enough that they no longer encounter or accept information that runs counter to the existing schemes. So, a child who has "learned" that "Mexicans are illegal immigrants" may grow into a person who believes that and doesn't accept an explanation that provides exceptions to that "rule."

Of course, tons of people have built on Piaget's work, so it's just as likely that you've encountered developmental theories based on his in your own study. Never hurts to know your roots, though!
