Can we all agree that Charlotte is racist?...


She should NEVER leave the country!

In SATC 1, they went to Mexico and refused to eat ANY FOOD/DRINK! Day one, I understand , but AFTER SEEING HER FRIENDS NOT GET SICK wouldn't she have started to eat/drink?

And THEN in SATC 2, they go to the Middle East and she goes by her maiden name because "it's the *MIDDLE EAST*..."

Typical rich socialite!



Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen! It's not going to happen!

A woman can't even show her SHOULDERS out there! I don't blame her for taking the proper precautions.



I really like your car Mrs. Larusso!

Charlotte is not a racist!
1. Mexico is known for Montezuma's Revenge. The water is not drinkable. Charlotte was being cautious, albeit overly cautious, about eating and drinking at a five-star resort.
2. Using her maiden name in an Arab country was smart. Arabs hate Jews and I don't blame her one bit.
That's my take on it. :)

Agreed.

It should also go without saying that your digestive system isn't used to other countries' cuisines. Just because you eat Mexican food in the US doesn't mean you can eat the same thing in Mexico. I have a friend that has to be very careful what she eats in foreign countries because she gets parasites easily. I hardly think that makes her a racist!!

Yeah that bothered me too.. She came across as snobby and judgmental.

Miranda was the only who wasn't a snob...

I think it was more a case of the writers recreating the same scenarios from the first film. Like the "It's Mexico" becoming "It's the Middle East" or 'Charlotte embarrassingly poops herself' becoming 'Charlotte gets an embarrassing camel toe'

When did racists start to adopt Chinese kids?

Wow so stupid. She didn't want to say her marital name because it is a very OBVIOUSLY Jewish surname and the middle easterners do generally have a grudge against jews and vice versa... unless you want me to keep it politically correct too and act like we all love each other and alls well in the world...

As for her not eating/drinking food in Mexico, SHE IS A SHELTERED WASP. If I went to a completely foreign country, I would definitely be hesitant to eat/drink there as welll although she was a bit absurd considering it was such a nice resort... meh
