WHITE RACIST

Can't believe he has been getting away with his PRIVILEGED BIGOTRY all this time.

Openly refuses to act with colored actors unless they play a stereotypical role (like african slaves in Blood Diamond for example) and NEVER comes out to support colored culture - instead his movies are always about WHITE culture and usually CAPITALIST in nature (Catch me if you can, Wolf of Wallstreet).

Then there is of course his completely RACIST role in Django where it was HIS DEMAND that he say the N word relentlessly with a hard R.

The worst of all is that one of his most iconic roles is him saving a RICH WHITE GIRL on the Titanic at the expense of pocs.

His choice in roles is clearly bigoted.

I really liked him in "The Departed" and I enjoyed that movie he was in quite some time ago about being a teenage basketball player who was taking a lot of drugs a lot of the time. That might have been because I liked the movie, not because I liked him. I don't think I've seen an awful lot of his other movies, but I think that most of the ones I have seen have left me with kind of a 'blah' feeling.

Source for any of these accusations tho ¿

I know you're not being serious, but people might take that Django story and run with it. Truth is, he acted like he couldn't say the n word and Sam Jackson had to verbally kick his ass to get him to say it.

[–] triplea (3577) 2 years ago

No that was the cover story and Jackson was offended because he knew Leo always says it anyway, so why pretend like he doesn't around him?

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

Leo says it all the time? I'd need to see proof of that. I just can't imagine a performative tree-hugger saying racist stuff. I could be wrong, though. He could just be a very unique tree-hugger.

So that means you would also have a problem with Jordan Peele saying he would never hire a white lead then?
