Disturbing lack of black characters...


So I just watched the film, I knew it was of an old era, but I braced myself. I was disturbed when I realized there were no POC in the film, not one black guy.

Needless to say it was a sleepless night.

*Facepalm*

You do realize there were actually no black people in Japan in the Samurai Era?

How do you people not recognize that the OP is joking??? HOW?????

You can post anything on these boards and someone will apparently take it seriously.

Whether when someone is joking, trolling or being an idiot I can't tell. Why? Because there are many self-righteous idiots on IMDb. And what is wrong with taking things seriously?

reply

It's very easy to tell in this case. I doubt that even the most insane SJW would complain about the lack of minorities in this movie. It just isn't the type of thing to happen on planet Earth.

"It just isn't the type of thing to happen on planet Earth", yet here I am. On planet Earth 😀 Anyhow I was wrong, hmkay? I had a bad day and was too quick on the keyboards.

The people who thought the "Disturbingly Anti-American" thread was serious were really something else. Unless they were continuing the joke, in which case more power to them.

Yeah, thank God for Trollers. They make life a little funnier.

I hope they were continuing the joke, even though I don't find it funny.
