Are there any positive non-white characters in the film?


The villains, even the apolitical, money-grubbing, femme fatale character, are all non-white, one of the few black characters in the film is the pathetic whimpering hostage in the hotel sequence, and even Arnold's sidekick, 'Faisal', is played by a Jewish actor rather than an Arab one.

It's almost as if James Cameron was purposefully going out of his way to offend.

Who cares.

That's totally wrong.

Why should only white people be bad guys?

I mean they didn't kill 100 million Native Americans over the course of 500 years.

They didn't ravage an entire continent (The Americas) and destroy hundreds of different cultures.

They did not enslave 100 million blacks over the course of 400 years and treat them as animals.

They did not occupy foreign nations such as Australia and South Africa, bringing disease, torture, murder and exploitation to the native residents.


This was all done by muslims.


Leave white people alone!!!

Piss off racist.

No - like most people it seems today, you're going out of your way to be offended.

Jews are middle-eastern. That is why Faisal(Grant Heslov) looks middle eastern and not white, because he isn't white. Are you mentally ill?

reply

Frankly I think the TC and reapervai are mentally ill. Using the acts of white people that are all dead now to attack everyone who is white now is crazy.

reply

Seems to be increasingly common these days.

Back then, the truth was allowed

Sounds like the OP is the one who has a problem with race. And yes radical Islamic Terrorism is a real world threat whether you like the reality or not.

Good. I'm sick of movies making people of color the most noble creatures who ever existed.
