Uh, was it supposed to be? Doesn't politicizing ALL black characters amount to one-dimensional storytelling?

1) Why do (white) people think racists only exist in the South?2) Does he not have an editor?3) Judging work from previous eras by the standards of the current era without understanding the moral climate of those bygone eras is sixth-grade critical analysis at best.4) THANK YOU WHITEY FOR SO BRAVELY DEFENDING MY POOR DOWNTRODDEN PEOPLE (ps fuck off)

Although its better not to get too theoretical here [though if you are interested in this line of argument, take a look at my article on NASCAR and economic class in Studies in Popular Culture (October 2002)], the larger point is perhaps that there is racism and then there is racism.

The country boys are leaving the sport but isn't it interesting that the ride NASCAR takes us for remains "white knuckle" in every sense of the word?

Holden: Ah, come on, that's a bunch of horse shit! Lando Calrissian was a black guy. You know, and he got to fly the Millennium Falcon, what's the matter with you?
Hooper: Who said that?
Holden: I did! Lando Calrissian is a strong role-model in the realm of science fiction/fantasy.
Hooper: Fuck Lando Calrissian! Uncle-Tom nigger!

"From a WN perspective it is crap.
From a WN perspective, anything is crap. But from the perspective of someone just looking for entertainment, it was a decent flick. I'm sorry, but some of us can only watch B!rth of a N@tion or Tr!umph of the W!ll so many times, and some of us don't go looking for some "message" in everything we watch. It's a flippin' movie, and shouldn't be taken as anything other than entertainment featuring some comic book character, nor is everything not to a WN's liking exactly anti-White. Don't expect any film that comes out in big theatres to be blatantly pro-White, just take movies as something to do on a night off, and maybe you'll all enjoy something for a change."

is there a thread anywhere discussing the revelation that marvel's new EiC, C.B. Cebulski, once spent a year writing comics under the assumed identity of Japanese-American Godzilla enthusiast and samurai expert "Akira Yoshida"?
story broke here and has been making the rounds. as of yet he still has his job.

I wouldn't press/argue this point too strongly, but would mention that (IMO) the history of Asian representation in Marvel comics – as opposed to recent controversies involving the movies – is more slightly complex than implied in that HuffPo piece, or the Gizmodo article linked therein (cf. Shang-Chi, for starters).

...But point totally taken that it's *today's* Marvel that is both pulling the tone-deaf movie moves, and apparently shrugging its shoulders at this guy's appalling history.
