Handman said, separately, after receiving criticism:

I hope it’s clear that I don’t mean all of them.

No it actually wasn’t all that clear. You didn’t indicate in your post that you only meant some of them at all. What if you had said:

Why would we assume you only meant some?

Well I accidentally took my blood pressure medicine twice today. Took it before work and then for some reason thought I forgot to take it when I got home from lunch so I took it again, then I suddenly had the flashback of taking it this morning. So I dumped then on the table and counted them and sure enough one is missing. So I feel super weird. I’m sure nothing is going to happen but I’m gonna be worried about it all day and I’m gonna feel like crap and paranoid that something bad is going to happen even though it almost certainly won’t. And now I’m afraid to drink… But i really want to.

I survived.

What a shitty thing to say. Just because some are bad doesn’t make school teachers abominable. What the hell man

I don’t know, I had teachers tell kids to stay away from me. It kind of put me through hell. And everything I ever read about them only further convinces me to avoid public schools whenever I have children.

Yeah and I’ve had some minorities not treat me very nice at some points in my life too. See how that works?

Lol no but for someone who drinks and smokes as much pot as I do i really should as bad as my memory can get. I’m on a medium dose and it’s normal most of the time so I’m sure I’ll be fine but I’m definitely uncomfortable and I feel weird, some of which is probably just mental stress from knowing I took too much. Nothing to do but wait it out I guess. I might just try to go to bed early so I cam sleep away the stress and it’ll be alright by the time I wake up.

“West-Indian accent”? I though Jar Jar was supposed to sound Creole. And previously in this thread his accent was described as resembling Jamaican. This is really why the Jar Jar criticism confuses me so much. People can never agree on how exactly he is offensive. Also this is literally the first time I’ve heard mention of Jar Jar’s “buttocks”, and what does that have to do with Indians?

Also when was “crafty Japanese trade villains” ever a thing? I’ve heard people make ‘yellow peril’ comparisons, but apart from the accent (which the voice actor based on Philippino I belive) there’s not much about them that resembles any Asian cultures. Not that I’m aware of at least.

LoL

Well, sure but the point is that Jar Jar sounds decidedly stereotyped in that fashion. Be it Caribbean or Jamaican they all have a very noticeable trait that is very much human being of color. The trade federation have very obvious, thick Asian accents with large slitted eyes…they walk around like Geishas with their hands folded in front of them. I took the “crafty” in that phrase to just illustrate they were stereotypes that were cast as villains. Nothing more. Yellow peril certainly would fit that stereotype.

Watto and Jewish is ( I hope) not in need of an explanation?

Large slitted eyes…that’s a contradiction in terms if I ever saw one.

Obviously Asian…

The alien on the right is definitely Asian in facial characteristics but that is not the only trait I’m talking about. At any rate it is not important for my basic premise to be true. Many thought similarly, including the persons in the piece I linked. All my friends felt this way at the first viewing.

Yes, but the fact that many thought similarly doesn’t make it true.

Really? How does that make sense? If one person or a few dozen thought this then you might have a case. The debate over this issue in general with the TPM and the PT is well known and well documented. As noted before, I don’t believe Lucas was going out of his way here but To say this has no legs is just false.

Watto in the next movie has a small beard and hat that looks decidedly Hasidic. Am I really just imagining this? Seriously?

Is the cloud deliberately or subconciously attempting to look like Winnie the Poo, or is it all in the eyes of the beholder?

You got me fucked up if you think that cloud isn’t 100% Winnie the Pooh. I’m on your side in this argument I never even heard of this racism in TPM thing until a couple of years ago, probably on this site, (Although apparently it’s been said alot) and I think it’s definitely reaching. But that cloud has me shook. Pooh. Is. In. The. Sky.
