not saying there's a right or wrong way to approach it either. just opening it up for discussion. |
That's nothing compared to he today American audiences don't have problem with black gangster stereotype in film. I read crime books written by white authors boasting with use nigger when there is no need.
If you want avoid a legendary storyteller for what you watch today in films then it's your choice.
I find Kung fu Chinese stereotype in Hollywood offending but its not racist.....
