One of the most shameful movies that exemplifies Hollywood's legacy of racism hits Kansas City theaters today.
To wit . . .
SHAME ON AMC FOR SHOWING THE DISGUSTING STEREOTYPES DEPICTED IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S TODAY IN KANSAS CITY!!
And it's not just TKC making this call.
Here's a quote from someone much smarter . . .
Wall Street Journal: In the decades since the film was released, Rooney’s portrayal of Yunioshi — taped eyelids, buck teeth, sibilant accent and all — has become one of the persistent icons of ethnic stereotype, brought up whenever conversation turns to the topic of Hollywood racism. The depiction has prompted widespread protests whenever the film is screened . . .
Accordingly, check a quick "news" tidbit noting Hollywood recycling this movie today . . .
KMBC: Breakfast at Tiffany's returns to select theatres Wednesday . . . Several showings planned across metro
A screen shot of theaters showing the disgrace . . .
To be fair, AMC is now owned by a Chinese conglomerate and I guess if they don't have a problem with racism against Asians, then it's no big deal. Then again, the character (caricature) is Japanese and not Chinese and corporations from this Communist nation are well known for laughing themselves all the way to the bank even whilst destroying their own environment.
You decide . . .
Ms. Pam gimme no money to see it. I guess I'll stay home and listen to Bing Crosby records.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Hollywood is SO, SO, SO racist. Almost every, every movie made out there, is a "Hate Whitey" flick.
ReplyDeleteOh..., sorry, I guess you are right after all Tony.
J. J. Abrams and his co-workers on the new "Star Wars" movie, have come out and flat out said, that the Evil Empire represents white people and evil, while their opponents, a multicultural chickification cadre of Marxist revolutionaries are the Left.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
Fucked up man...
"I just made a movie, where I get to kill all the white people."
ReplyDeleteHollywood's raison d'etre is to make "Hate White People" movies.
ReplyDeleteGimme a break with the "rayciss!!!!" bullshit.
White people have it so hard.
ReplyDeleteCry me a river. Trump won. Shut up.
Yup! Its all RAYSHITZ Toneeeeee. In the mean time we unload another cargo shop from our Chinese masters who own our asses. They were smart enough to build the wall 2000 years ago. They guys who called them rascists are all buried near the rice fields.
ReplyDelete^^^ Don't study history much? Their wall didn't work.
ReplyDeleteThe mongols won.
We have to be smarter.
The Five Dynasties included ONE Mongol Dynasty.
ReplyDeleteA temporary Dynasty.
Check your OWN history out dumbfuck.
They need to re-release the John Hughes classic "Sixteen Candles" as well, where there is a more accurate depiction of asians.
ReplyDeleteThe Manchus, culturally related to the Mongols but not to the Han Chinese, ruled China as the Qing dynasty for almost 300 years. The wall didn't stop them either.
ReplyDelete^^^^^. The DMZ between the two Koreas does an outstanding job of stopping people from crossing their border, as did the former Iron Curtain in Europe.
ReplyDeleteAMC is Chinese owned. Lulz
ReplyDeleteRomantic Comedy is simply a comedy, a joke, a time to be silly and make people laugh.
ReplyDeleteComedy is simply that, comedy.
The world is slowly losing it's ability to laugh simply because nobody can take a joke anymore. I swear before long a white person eating a Chinese fortune cookie will be deemed racist. The damn things were invented in California.
Did anyone get pissy when theses black actors donned white face?
Martin Lawrence as Bob on "Martin" ...
Shawn and Marlon Wayans as the Wilson sisters in "White Chicks " ...
Dave Chappelle as news anchor Chuck Taylor on "Chappelle's Show" ...
Whoopi Goldberg as Robert S. Cutty...
Eddie Murphy as Saul in "Coming To America "
Busta Rhymes as cop in "Dangerous" video ...
Come on it isn't racist it's comedy, slapstick, what ever, but it's done to make you laugh and the people did and still do today.
Th Three Stooges dressing up, made up and acted like probably every known nationality in the world and nobody seems to find it racist.
what?? Hymiewood is racist??
ReplyDeleteOy Vey!!
The vest joke that don rickles ever told was asking if there were any japanese in the audience, when no one raised theyre hands, he said, "sure, since the war theyre all chinese".
ReplyDeleteFuck sakes! Does anyone see the gooks whining? Fuck no! They get jobs, start businesses and get even with us through hard work. Maybe the boon community could learn something.
