Good call Che. I was trying to put my finger on what disturbed me about that scene. Other than the generic bad acting, of course.

Doesn't it strike anyone as strange that the gentiles seem to care more about this particular offense than the Jews do?

Just wondering Chegitz, did you also get offended at the traditional movie showing Germans as the chief bad guy?

You got it! It was in Amsterdam. I had to take a picture when I saw the signs on that place.

	Tired of ads?

Creativity and imagination are horribly poor these times on the movies' screens...
But if every time anyone do anything, there is thousands of people that will dissect everything in what was done just to look for something to be offended, I can understand the lack of personnality that new productions have these days.

When I see people that are disturbed because population in Civ3 is assimilated over time, or like here where people look for racist stereotypes to be offended about, I think all the more that PC is definitaly boring to death.
Darn, I did not even thought about this "antisemic stereotyping". It seems that it's noticed just by people who looks for it.

Get a life and stop being paranoids, pals. I'm sure you have plenty other things to do.

Same here. Watto was Arab to me... hell, it fits, slave trader, accent, etc.

Everyone:

That's ODD. When I watched "AotC," all I saw was Watto. A kind-of-ugly squattish alien on Tattooine (sp) with a broken tooth whose pursuits in life were less than altruistic.

Did I miss something? Was I brainwashed by George Lucas into hating Jews and/or Arabs? I am I now supposed to think less of Asians in general because some fictional characters in a fictional galaxy set far, far away and a long time ago had the "wrong" accent and the "wrong" look? Gee. I guess it was a mistake to see Trade Federation representativs for what they were — Trade Federation representatives.

If you ask me, the political correctness crowd sometimes is more guilty of stereotyping than those they point an accusing finger at. Particularly in this case.

the secodn i heard the trade federation guys speak in episiode 1, i looked at my Chinese friend and said "damn, that worldwide revolution went intergalactic or somethin". he then threw popcorn at me for a good ten minutes.

on a side note he's been calling me "polack" for a month now, so i call him "charlie" despite all the historical errors. (i still say he's half cambodian )

Well, I can't take it back. I could put in a smalle caveat or reservation or other weasely clause. [/Robin Williamish impression of Bill Buckley as a jinni]

I never saw SMAC. Just Civ2. I really liked the Darwin video. With the overhead shot of the monkey, etc. And I really liked the UN video with the pictures of the helos moving out and the blue helmet dudes...

I just saw Dr Dolittle 2 on tv, and they had a monkey on there stereotyping the french. He was dressed in french clothes and was always getting drunk. Of course, thats not offensive to you is it Chegitz? Its ok to make fun of white cultures.

Shi Huangdi, I don't have a problem with Germans being shown as the bad guys in a WWII film. They were the bad guys.

Akka le Vil, I didn't go looking for anything in AtoC. But Watto's depiction was over the top.

I'll comment on it. I've never heard of French people being compared to monkeys. I've seen and heard Jewish stereotypes that are much like Watto.
