That is not ignorant. That is being intelligent enough to hold my own opinion and not let some <insert bad word> on internet try to push their own opinion upon me.

Also this conversation isn’t about opinions; TPM has racial stereotypes. End of discussion. Just because it happens to be in a franchise you sort of like doesn’t warrant ANYONE to try to worm their way around, justify or turn a blind eye to it.

Considering something racist when racism wasn’t the intent is completely subjective, so yes, this is about opinions. For something to be racist means that it is portraying a group (race) in a condescending or negative way with the intent of doing so. If you feel that these are racist and offensive, that’s your opinion, but it is not fact.
