ATT!!! Star Wars hater at WSU.

I recently saw a professor from Wayne State University on the O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel. He kept saying that SW:AOTC racially stereotyped Hispanics as criminals. His basis for this was that Jango had dark skin. He also cracked on the movie for several other reasons (script, actors etc.). I am encouraging everyone on this list to send this guy an email and let him know that Star Wars fans should not be taken lightly. His

know what you think!!!!! FLAME ON!!!

Jango is a New Zealander though.

ARG GOD how I hate these idiot friggin liberals. I consider myself more a liberal than anything else and these people still piss me off. We should take all the feminists, environmentalists (the extreme ones, like those who run the Sierra Club), and the people who see a minority playing a 'bad guy' and immediately shout 'racism!', load them up onto a ship, and send them off somewhere else.

Like a black hole somewhere.

Wayne State? Is that where you teach when you get fired from Mall Security School?

Hey, he makes a bitchin Tequila!

I can see the legions of womanless Star Wars superdorks emailing now! At least this time it's worth it. Bury him guys...

The wonderfully funny irony of this, of course, is that by assuming any dark-skinned character to be Latino, this jackass is engaging on a far more blatant form of bigotry than anything GL could manage.

Why let the truth get in the way of a perfectly good 'racist' charge?

Isn't that Jose Cuervo?

Flame him? That's unlikely to dissuade him from his argument. Why not just write a reasoned response?

It's funny that someone claiming to be this gentleman posted here at about the same time you did. Curious that such an individual would use supernews to keep their sourse as anonymous, and then place their full name, E-Mail address and phone number in the post.

Honestly, just how stupid do you think we are?

What the hell are you doing in here? Sheesh, a new movie brings out all sorts.
