You must be joking Chegitz. Do you seriously think people who watch star wars movies are going to come out thinking Jews are greedy and asians are sinister and evil?

Well, some idiots got the idea that Jango Fett's clones were a veiled reference to Mexicans. Never mind that Timura Morrison is a Maori with NZ-OZ accent...Originally posted by chegitz guevara
Yeah, PC oversensitivity.
Typical greedy Jew, sinister evil Asians (the Trade Federation), typical stupid Step n' fetch-it.
If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.Comment

So if a major movie comes out depicting blacks as water-melon-eating Sambos with huge lips and a subserviant manner, that wouldn't deserve criticism for being racist?...people like to cry a lot... - Pekka

Is Jar Jar a gay, black guy? Are all the lions in that Disney movie (can't remember name) black? And why didn't they have a human play Jar Jar. I think that would have been more realisitic than doing computer graphics. You get more a sense of texture with a costume. CG still looks fake...Comment

I find that character hilarious, and now rhat che has given me that idea even more so
don't think it's anti-aemite, just poking fun at the stereotype... does any Jew feel like that stereotype?Comment

Sorry, couldn't help it.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I wouldn't be particularly surprised if some of the characters are stereotypical. Lucas isn't subtle.

I hate this over-used whining from people whose favorite catch-phrase is "PC over-sensitivity."Originally posted by Caligastia
This is a fuss over nothing. Even if the stereotype is intentional, what harm could it possibly do? This is just PC over-sensitivity.
It's called a sense of decency and respect for differences among the people of the world and knowing what jokes are appropriate, and when.
The power of negative stereotypes is not to be underestimated. It has been used as propgaganda to justify American slavery of blacks, by the Nazis to justify the "Final Solution." It has also been used to justify keeping women unemployed and helplessly dependent on men.
There are a lot of ignorant, shallow people who see movies, along with the educated, intelligent people. Those ignorant people are the ones who accept the stereotypes.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

You know, I didn't even know Watto was a "Stereotypical representation of a Jew" until someone pointed it out, and I still don't see it.
Geez Che, your OP rates up there with Arabs who think Boba Fett is suppose to be a Arab terrorist because "Baba" means "father" in Arabic.
This says more about your own infrainged rascism than any Lucas might have, that you "see" it.Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.Comment

Some of my friends at Uni have parents kind of like that...but then again the school is over a third Jewish, so it's probably a fluke...Originally posted by Ecthelion
