Well its very rare that you find someone actually complaining about "outdated attitudes"
Usually its just someone pretending to to offended , or joking about it.

Could you quote the exact bits that put you off?

Its especially surprising when you contrast it with your recent
"I'm upset another non white has been allowed on the screen" thread:

British? That's not a race. It generally refers to white people.

Asians not speaking English? It's true, many of them don't. And I, a white dude, don't speak any Asian languages. To point out that fact would not be racist.

American pride? That has nothing to do with race.

Movies with race/ethnicity jokes age wonderfully. They're refreshing, compared to the uptight woke bullshit of today.
