Every western made in the last 20 years has a racial justice theme.

Looks like Walter Hill didn't think there were enough already. Too bad. The trailer looked pretty cool for a while there. I doubt I will watch it, though. I am sick of getting 'lessons' in my entertainment.

I'm with you. That's not what westerns are about.

They shouldn't be, but now literally EVERYTHING Hollywood craps out has to be about racial issues.

Well they've got to stand right out on the platform.

Pretty sure that's not true.

I don't immediately recall any racial justice theme in Appaloosa. And was there one in 3:10 to Yuma? True Grit?

Pretty sure there wasn't in The Homesman. Or In a Valley of Violence.

There wasn't one in Bone Tomahawk. If anything, that was more like the opposite: Destroy the insane Indian tribe.
