Any modern adaptation really has to get rid of the racism in those old works

Why if they're based on another time?

Is any of you actually Indian? I for one hate this sympathy racism where a bunch of white people get offended about racism and like someone here said Indians themselves laughed at the scenes in TOD and couldn't care less. There is also a difference between a race and a culture. I've seen so many American shows to know they use all the old stereotypes about every culture (Russia, Germany, Britain, The Neatherlands etc.) which would be considered very racist if the people there weren't white. I think it's a bit ridicilous that when the skin color changes, it suddenly becomes racist. I'm kind of a "make fun of us all or then about no one" type of guy.

So if a movie is "based in another time" racism is good? I don't even know where to go with that statement. Is it just a bunch of "sympathy racism" whiteys who object to say, a movie glorifying the genocide of Native Americans, because hey, the move is set in another time?

Making fun of a British character for being uptight and liking tea doesn't have a long history of oppression and murder. "Dark skinned backwards savages" being gunned down by heroic white colonists kinda does. I can't imagine how you don't see the difference.

Who said anything about racism being good?

Are you saying that a movie about Native American genocide should get rid of any racism? Really?

Again, who talked about oppression or murder here? I was talking about TOD like others here, like a weird Indian tribe eating monkey brains.

Please do not put words in my mouth, thanks.
