Racist

Why would you cast Hispanic/Lusitanics actors as villainous Germans? Was Eastwood afraid of vilifying Aryans, instead choosing to perpetuate racist stereotypes against genuinely oppressed minority groups, like Hispanics/Lusitanics (Raul Julia being Puerto Rican and Sonia Braga being Brazilian)? Worse, he made the Latino woman a perpetrator of sexual assault (because all Latin women are over-sexualised, emasculating monsters, right?)

Congratulations on writing the most pathetic thing I've read on the internet today.

That's AFTER three articles of cops trying to justify their obvious power trip brutality. And a guy threatening to kill me over the internet. LOL.

Who cares? I'm Hispanic and I didn't find it racist. Just enjoy the movie.
