Must everything not Christian caucasian America be satanic or in need of a white American saviour?
At least KOTCS didn't have missionaries in a cauldron danced around by black cannibals.
In Raiders Sallah was a real character with real concerns but in TLC he was a comedy Arab.
Was Indy more exciting when his friends were real or when his friends were national cartoons?
Salah was certainly a better character in ROTLA. But how is his comedy racist? Marcus Brody was even more silly and utterly idiotic at times. He was a white character. Henry Jones, Sr. was pretty silly too. Maybe he was perpetuating a stereotype against Scots. I'm not saying there aren't valid criticisms of movies with racist content. Many films make me cringe or at least worry. But I think that the cure isn't simply making only whites idiots. We need to spread the idiocy around. Not everything must be taken in the context that there is a racist hidden message, though I feel so much of our society looks for exactly that.
