Open season on white males?


Wouldn't have seen this but had some time to kill, and nothing else on so gave this a look. The film does what it says on the tin, some escapist action, some likeable characters, really, not so bad.

However, what is with this white males thing? Here are some rules I discovered:-

1) White males are bad and cannot be good guys - unless they are Irish (historically oppressed minority), or have a beard and spout Left-wing conspiracy theories constantly. Even then, they can only be minor characters.

2) White females are OK, and can be sex objects too (no problemo), unless they have blonde hair, in which case they are utterly Evil.

3) It's amusing (apparently) to see how many ways it is possible to kill white males, after all it's what they are there for.

It's getting old....

Yes it is. It seems that blacks can only be cast to play lowly thugs and criminals, never a criminal mastermind. Only whites get those roles. Shame on Hollywood.

It's more like open season on white countries.

When does the season on your mom open..?

I've definitely noticed the trend in blonde women always being evil villains.

And I laughed pretty hard when the big bad reveal was.... just some random white guy. Get off my lawn!

What, you don't think all the ethnic villains and blackface in past movies got old?
