Truth. My family comes from the poorest white neighborhoods in Florida -- half our neighbors lived in trailers and we didn't live in much better. We are still hovering around lower middle class, not quite upper middle, and I live in a mixed race area of Orange County where I am the minority among Mexicans and Vietnamese -- and I'm married to a Vietnamese woman btw, so back off if you think I somehow believe it's me versus them. I believe in true equality, not this lopsided oversensitive politically correct nonsense that quite frankly feels more like a witch hunt than anything else. (Also, anyone who thinks living in "The O.C." is baller, needs to TRULY learn about income inequality in California.)
I never grew up racist myself, but I've always been dissed by Mexicans and Vietnamese. And it's for these reasons: I am viewed as an inferior both physically and culturally. I know because I have been referred to by my physical qualities, light complexion, freckles deemed as inferior; and, by my lack of culture compared with those who have a strong cultural identity. My culture is simply referred to as a homogeneous "white" and I don't think people realize how that hurts a person. The "N word" may have a worse history but we don't live in the past, we live in the present, and if everyone is equal. Why are my feelings as a white man inferior to everyone else? We should all be equal. EQUAL. I never did nothing to nobody out of spite for their race, but I sure have received some undue spite simply for being white.
Didn't really start bothering me until later in life when people started calling me white and entitled. The *beep*? I am a minority in my neighborhood and I do NOT experience the benefits that the common *beep* thinks all white people experience. That's when I realized it's a class war and ANY majority of ANY race will begin to *beep* on their local minorities as they gain more economic AND social power over the other.
In my neighborhood the few black people and the few white people are tight as *beep*, because we have to deal with racism from the dual majority who don't like white people or black people. Come on, people, racism and the class war is a human issue, not a white versus everyone else thing... That's where you've been sold racism without even knowing you were sold it. Overreacting to *beep* that isn't even racist simply because you jump at every false positive that presents itself to you as if it were fact.
Tarantino isn't racist, he's having the villains in his movies speak as they would speak in real life. Every gang, every criminal organization is RACIST. Doesn't matter if it's Italian mafia, Mexican mafia, Irish mafia, Jewish mafia, KKK, Neo Nazis, Crips, and Bloods: they're ALL racist. And Tarantino shows you this fact throughout all of his movies. Notice that the hero of the movie has a mentor who is black. Get it? Tim Roth is the good guy and his partner is black. They're not racist and they fight for justice in this world. How could you think Tarantino or this movies are racist? Ignorance clearly ISN'T bliss...
