You just said the same thing with different words.
I'm embarrassed for you.
Yes, many predictions still bear out.
So you're outraged by 'historical discrimination' (which seems to amount to a handful of movie characters doing bad accents) against a practically non-existent Indian population, but contemptuous of rednecks. Says it all.
Big deal, Indians were 0.3% of the US population 30 years ago, even now they're barely over 1%. They're lucky to even be included.
It was pretty ridiculous IMO. Caruso yelling at people to call 911 while the woman's laid splatted on the road (duh), cars flying 30 feet in the air (no idea if this happens in reality but it looks comical), the bad guy stopping at a red light after ramming his way through traffic, Chinese monks karate chopping the car while the rest of the parade carries on oblivious, one car 'punching' an other off the pier.
Who gives a shit what some woke scold on tvtropes thinks has 'not aged well'? And I ask this as someone who isn't a fan of Kinison.
Quite the megalomaniac.
Delusion noted.
That is my refutation. Others have already explained why most of your examples are dumb.
Are you kidding? Western culture has been dominated by white creators because it has been overwhelmingly white for the vast majority of its existence. Why would Austen include non-whites in stories set in a society that was 99.999% white? She was not perpetrating any 'wrong' in doing that. The example of Herman Hesse, though, is particularly dumb considering that his most popular novel is set in India, about an Indian. Talk about false equivalencies. Utterly ridiculous.
You seem to be reaching massively (disingenuously) with these comparisons.
So you're saying it's good in a Triumph of the Will sort of way?
Agreed. Obviously she was there as the token hate figure, but he seemed to be personal/unprofessional about it, heckling her during her set. It's ironic, because I didn't know he was a stand up and assumed he was famous for something else based on his own poor performance.
"If you squint, tilt your sideways and stand on one leg, you'll see that he's not *ackchyually* slagging off his prospective audience."
These people are calling the majority of the planet weirdos? It's always projection.
IMDb explicitly does this. They admit as much on the ratings page for, for example, 'I Am Greta':

This thread title aged well.
Yes. Do you spend weeks scrutinising the tagline of every film before deciding whether to watch it?
'Islamic feminist' is pretty much an oxymoron. Insofar as they exist, they're largely a product of Western influence.
