to a digree... but other then actual racist white bastards, from what i've seen the race card is thrown when white people seriously are forced into a hole...
for example... every race other then Caucasians can have some college funding. As well as how i mentioned previous things. I also brought up an interesting point in my contemporary art class, we studied a black artist who does alot of paintings based on black face and the old posters and stereotypes. We saw his brief interview and saw his opening in it, full of pretty much all black people as expected. And then we discussed his work. And i asked the teacher, being white... i would be completely unsure if i should like... or want to even buy his work... would one be labeled racist for it? or is it "black only" work?
Not to mention, i have several friends in the entertainment industry and they brought up a good point... most movies (not all but most) "about white people" have to be PC, and bring in some other nationalities (especially on TV), but no other race really has to follow those guidelines... look at how many movies there are with an "all black" cast... (im not saying thats a bad thing at all) i just think there shouldn't be rules like that at all... if you want a movie will all asians, fine, if you want an all white cast thats fine too... but there shouldn't be guidelines or restrictions to it, just to keep "everyone" happy.
again, kind of but not really.
the problem with people is that they usually forget that **** went down when they weren't even born.
the united Negro college fund for instance was created because Black people as a whole, faced greater difficulty in obtaining a college education, why?
well, while some of them whistled a happy tune and told stories like uncle Remus, some actually had a hard time with advancing in a society not comfortable with using the same drinking fountains as them.
so removing all of these little things ( not really little) and viewing society simply as it is now?
sure, it's definitely easier for a black person to advance in society, and some sector of the black community has entered a stagnation phase.
however, in spite of that, racism is still alive and kicking, unless some magical pixie dust was sprinkled in the last 10 years and things are suddenly OK.
as far as movies go?
yeah, they are pretty dumb and self segregating, but the fact of the matter is that it's not done for the reasons you think, it's not because Hollywood is PC, it's because Hollywood wants money.
Like this GI Joe Movie stupidity I've seen lately. Everyone is in an uproar because they made GI Joe part of the UN. it must be the PC police right?
UH, no.
simply that to appeal to foreign markets they have to make the characters easier to relate to, sure you can associate GI Joe with something cool, but then, you have a cartoon related name on an internet messageboard about comics, so in order to maximize their profit they target specific markets sometimes and broader markets another.
