So far as I am aware, the KKK hate all non-white races, not just black people.
So they probably would not be so into a film with Antonio Banderas as the protagonist.
Antonio Banderas was born and raised in Spain. He is white European.
shareHe's quite a lovely tan colour though!
Enough that I imagine psycho extremists like the KKK would disapprove.
Spaniards are white.
I don't see how one could consider the Spanish non-white, but consider Italians or Greeks white. They are all Mediterraneans.
I will admit that it's funny how the US media portrays full blooded Spaniards like Antonio Banderas, Penelope Cruz and Julio Iglesias as non-whites.
The Spanish are white, and you would probably be accepted into the KKK as long as you didn't walk into the Kleagle's office speaking Spanish (because of connotations with illegal immigration and the U.S.-Mexico border issue). The modern Klan is very weak and has had to make various concessions for certain groups and form alliances with Neo-Nazis (who hold a decidedly pro-European (Imperium) and anti-American viewpoint), despite the fact that it is supposed to be an American patriotic organization. Nowadays they would make Martin Luther King a Grand Wizard if he was against Mexicans and Arabs.
Ahh, see, I really do not know a whole lot about the KKK!
I've always just thought they disliked anybody that had a little bit of brown in their skin!
Thankfully I have not had anything in the way of interaction with racism of that magnitude. (do the KKK exist in the UK or are they largely concentrated in the US?)
Just always thought if you're prejudice enough to hate somebody due to skin colour you're probably not going to be sensible enough to stop and think about the finer details.
I can't imagine a member of the KKK stopping to have a discussions with a darker-skinned caucasian about their heritage to determine if they should hate them or not!

This is Chris Hopgood, vile racist leader of a British wing of the white supremacists.
In the first evidence of UK Klan activity in decades, the KKK Grand Dragon poses with other senior members of the sick organisation.

A lot of those Klan members in the South have tanned skin as well, considering they have manual labor jobs working outside. It's where the term "redneck" comes from.
The term characterized farmers having a red neck caused by sunburn from hours working in the fields. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as "poorer inhabitants of the rural districts...men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin stained red and burnt by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks"-wiki

This is where you got it fundamentally wrong. The real KKK is never about hate, it's about segregation on racial lines, precisely to avoid racism. "Each with their own government" would be a summary.
Never argue with a Cultural Marxist. They never make sense and they never give up their racism. share
I don't see how one could consider the Spanish non-white, but consider Italians or Greeks white. They are all Mediterraneans.It wasn't too long ago that even white wasn't white. Iberic, teutonic, keltic, slavic, nordic.

You are right, the KKK has had to adapt, but since race is almost entirely a social construct it wasn't that hard for them to do, even if their doing so basically disproves their entire basis for existence. share
The KKK did not make so much of a race issue with S. Europeans as a religious hatred. The main targets of the KKK were African Americans and Catholics. Spanish are Catholics as are Italians. Greeks being non protestant were also enemies. Jews of course as well were targeted.
The KKK destroyed many businesses of non-Protestants
Spaniards are white.
I don't see how one could consider the Spanish non-white, but consider Italians or Greeks white. They are all Mediterraneans.
There are plenty of people that don't. Sicilians are a good example, with their kinky hair. Some only consider aryans "white".
Nowadays they would make Martin Luther King a Grand Wizard if he was against Mexicans and Arabs.
Pics or it didn't happen.

The is debated as to whether Greeks, Spaniards, Portuguese and Italians are "White" in the commonly used form the term. Caucasian? Yes. White? Maybe not, unless you consider Arabs, Sephardic Jews, Turks, and Iranians "White". It's not me, it's just the usage of the term. In North America, it's used for people of Western European origin (North Western European to be precise).
Hama cheez ba-Beer behtar meshawad!
George Clooney, Sean Connery are a nice tan color. I guess the KKK must hate them too?
shareWhy? Banderas is a Spaniard, a European Caucasian no different than an Italian, Norwegian, Pole or German. Might you mean WASP?

shareOh look, another guilt-fed white liberal putz defending the black people. How very diverse and tolerant of you! Back to BET with ya...
share"the"?
Spend less time worrying about putzes and more time "on" your "grandma" (so to speak).
What? Grandma??
What are you talking about? Oh, is that some kind of incest insult since I called out the white buffoon who was worried about the lack of diversity in this movie?
Shouldnt you be more worried about which TV or Nike's to loot in Ferguson instead of making pathetic jokes about me?
Yo hands up dawg!
Moronic, yank reply as expected.
Grandma is a play on the word "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammar";
Anyone who was widely read would know that: https://www.google.co.uk/#q=grammar+pun+grandma&spell=1
I'm an Oxford graduate moron. What are you?
Do you really expect me to take you seriously?
I don't even know how to communicate with an idiot and to be frank I am not
interested in finding out.
"Dawg"? LOL. As if. Do you really think that's English that you are speaking?
The people running around in Ferguson are just as stupid as you are.
America is an n-tier nation and people like you are at the bottom.
This simple truth is never spoken of by people in authority and is ignored by all and sundry but ultimately it is the truth. You are under the illusion that your comments are insightful and of consequence BUT they are not.
NB.
"incest insult" => "incestual insult"
"Nike's" => <frontier gibberish>
Lol. But of course you are cuz.
I didn't know they had Affirmative Action in England too. Guess you learn something every day.
You go right on believing how intellectual you are. Makes for an interesting read.
I'm sure YOU learn something new every day BUT we don't have AA in the UK.
That's the point.
And that was back in 1996.

You need to confront your own stupidity as hard as that might be.
You are not what you think you are.
Right. Its called 'Positive action' there isn't it?
My own stupidity? Am I the Oxford graduate arguing with some stranger on a movie site? Over something that had nothing to do with me until I stuck my arrogant nose in it?
You are not what you think you are. Or maybe you are. God knows how you must view yourself from what I've seen here.
I stopped arguing with you a long time ago.
"incest insult" => "incestual insult"
"Nike's" => <frontier gibberish>
Never fails: every time someone on the Internet makes criticisms of grammar, they make grammar mistakes themselves.
In your case it's "I'm an Oxford graduate moron." share
[deleted]
Proof positive that you can graduate and still be a moron!! But what do I know? They have their own comma ;)
sharewatch it goat, Im liberal and I think the op is a tool myself, no need to insult tens of millions of people in an attempt to insult 1
shareWho cares besides you?
Hollywood is run by small-minded people who like chopping the legs off creative people T.Gilliam
That is a really stupid thing to say. I have not seen the movie, but plan to today, but The Godfather I don't believe had any black people either. Does that make Francis Ford Coppala the Grand Wizard of the KKK? I don't think so.
sharethere was the Asian robotics doctor at the start; she had perfect british english LOL
This is a European movie, a la Blade Runner, doubt the KKK would like it.
