Wasted on American audiences
far too many cold hard truths for the Trump nation to either consider or appreciate. Let's hope I'm wrong, though I very much doubt it.
shareAnd where are you from, Prasade?
shareIt's irrelevant, but I am British. All that matters is the film.
This is a film website not a political socio-economic forum.
I don't understand why you're ashamed of being American. If you've a complex about your own identity don't project it here
It's not irrelevant. If you're going to make a comment like that it's very relevant.
shareMy comment is about a film and an audience of that film. I am well within my rights to comment about a film and express an opinion about that film's particular audience. You idiots are the ones who politicise my comment until it is transmorgified into something it is not. Like the idiot Nathan whose lack of education is awareness is plainly obvious.
My point is if you are upset about being American keep it to yourself. Nobody need know that.
No, you are the arrogant bastard who thinks YOU have the greatest taste in movies and everyone who disagrees is an idiot.
And you don't have good taste in movies, you have terrible taste in movies. And you're an arrogant idiot, which is the worst kind of dumb-ass.
Or my isn't name...
Nathan mr defensive lol obviously true if you get so butthurt
share-- that the USA is not only the least racist country in the world right now, it is the least racist country of all time.
Does America have a long legacy of bigotry? Of course it does (And so, by the way, do most countries in the world).
Are there still bigots among its 320 million citizens? Of course there are. (And what country of any size is lacking in bigotry??)
However...
If there's another non-dictatorial country on the planet that willfully elected a member of a 12-percent minority to be its leader -- and then did so AGAIN four years later -- I'd certainly love to hear about it.
So please list all the countries of Europe that have done the same thing as the U.S.: elected a member of a tiny racial minority to be its leader. Are there any? Is there even one?
There isn't?
Okay how about in Asia then? Surely there must be a country like that in Asia?
No?
What about in Africa? South America? Australia?
Tell you what. You make your list up, post it here, then continue to lecture us about how America with its black President, black attorney general, former black Joint Chiefs of Staff, former black Secretary of State, and dozens and dozens of black mayors, congressmen, senators and governors is more racist than... for example... ohhhhh... let us say... England.
Thanks! Can't wait to read your list.
Signed,
Just your average racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, bigoted, misogynistic and xenophobic Yank.
Lol wow inflated sense of self much?

Off the top of my head, India elected a Sikh (a minority of 1.72%) as their last Prime Minister. And yes, and he was re-elected to a second term. You can also add Carlos Menem, Jalal Talabani, Evo Morales, Alberto Fujimori, Michael Manley, Mahendra Chaudhry, Benito Juarez...

No one who knew the first thing about European demographics and history would consider that an apt comparison. The non-European population of most European countries was minuscule up until the second half of the 20th century. And 12% is hardly a tiny minority. That said, both Britain and France have elected Jewish leaders.
Just your average racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, bigoted, misogynistic and xenophobic Yank.
You forgot ignorant and harbouring that delusional belief in American exceptionalism.

Just because I stumble down the road like a drunk, that doesn't mean it's the wrong one. share
Filmklassik I already wrote in my OP that "I hope I am wrong"
shareThe US is a racist country, but it is far more complex than you make it out to be. Yes, there are plenty of people who won't appreciate this film, but as an American and the daughter of an interracial couple, I found this to be a very important film about a very important case. When I was a child, California and 5 other states still had anti-miscegenation laws. My parents were married in NY, but it would be another 4 to 5 years before the Loving case was won in the Supreme Court.
If you are trolling, please stop being an IMDb cliche.
Pray you never, ever learn about truly racist stuff. The US is child's play, except for the slavery part, which went toast more than 150 years ago, thankfully.
As for Jim Crow, there was a good reason for that. Mixing is not the kind of thing that does any good on a large scale, and they knew that, and a lot of people still know it today. Just look at South America - it went full third world.
Never argue with a Cultural Marxist. They never make sense and they never give up their racism.
Your original post turned this into something political.
sharesorry mate, you're in no position to look down on Americans when your country just voted for Brexit.

He's a jackass who has an over-inflated sense of himself. If HE likes or doesn't like a movie, anyone who disagrees is an idiot. Typical young idiot with no actual life experience. He also likes to state that if a movie wasn't successful, it's because everyone else is an idiot.
Meanwhile, he ranked "8 Heads in a Duffel Bag" a 10. Yes, a 10. A 10 is for the greatest movies like say the Godfather. Yes, this jackass who thinks his own taste is soooo good, rated 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag the same rating as the Godfather.
So what's more likely: That an entire country is an idiot, or he is an idiot? Play the odds.

Not sure on how this "Internet" thing works, do ya? Also, you can type "ass hole" you ass hole.

I see that you have firmly lodged your tongue far deeper inside the canyon of my ar*e hole. You've been proding away at my prostate all year sunshine, keep at it, it's where you belong. Never had a fan like you before
