  • THE GREEN KNIGHT: Cultural Appropriation, But the Cool Kind

    From BTR1701@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 6 14:53:30 2021
    XPost: rec.arts.tv

    A classic Middle English Arthurian tale-- SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT--
    in which Hollywood has cast the lead (and many of the rest of the cast)
    with Far East Indian actors. Because that's who was sitting around King Arthur's roundtable-- a bunch of Punjabi warriors.

    Regardless, this kind of cultural appropriation is perfectly fine because
    it's only 'destroying' white culture and lord knows, those whites deserve
    it.

    Wow, this is the most racist post I think I've seen from you yet. Oath keepeers, Proud Boys, KKK racist. I see three Indians in the cast, none
    of whom are Punjabi. I'm not even sure you know what "Punjabi" means.
    I also see no "cultural appropriation". Is this some kind of cry for
    help? Are you finally going to do the world a favor and swallow a
    bullet? After eating a bag of dicks?

    If ONLY they'd had thick Indian accents, they could have played it for laughs. I remember how upset some Indians got
    when Xena used Krishna and some other Indian deities in one of their episodes. They even had to put a disclaimer in
    AND Xena, who generally hated gods got to fawn and act awe-struck when seeing him. What B.S.

    It's like a convention of racist dickheads.
