Exactly exactly exactly. This is another reason why we need to encourage gays to come out of the closet. Let people know you are not a scary Bruno stereotype, but a normal person in their lives, just like them. Now we just need the entertainment industry to end the token woman/POC/gay. Let us see those differential types.
I'm totally with you and I completely agree as a fellow self aware white heteronormative able person. Your identity is absolutely defined by these things, but you are not defined by SOCIETY by these things. Seth Rogan movies do not have a detrimental effect on you as a white male because you are not defined by the actions of a few stupid, pothead white people, but this is not true for minority groups. That's why people say things like "Obama's real numbers when you take away the black vote.." because black people aren't individuals, they are black people. This is why representation is so important and Bruno effects gay people. White people don't represent other white people, but gay people and characterizations of them represent gay people.
For all the unrealistic crap that happens in this trailer, I'm mostly annoyed by the break in rapist. I guess I'm annoyed by people denying that rapes happen in the numbers they do and that women are mostly lying because they think it's the "man in the bushes" that rapes, not the acquaintance. And here it is again. And in every movie ever.
Raffi was the first concert I ever went to. Sharon, Lois and Bram was second.
I still sing the apples and banana song. My boyfriend thinks I'm slightly insane.
EEPLES AND BENEEENEEEEES.
That's great, I don't doubt that it's not a racist term, it just makes absolutely no sense that something is not racist because that "race" of people weren't slaves. Like you said, racism is about power.
Exactly. You are not a group of people, you are your sexual preference (not orientation). Black people are defined by their race and women are defined by their gender, but white heterosexual men are just people. They are not defined by anything but their own personal worth because they are the norm.
This concept becomes clear if you ever talk to a standard white male about white privilege and patriarchy - they have a hard time working with the idea of themselves as part of a group defined by their race and gender rather than an attack targeted at them as a person.
Anyways, this is why representation is important. The more we are represented by our stereotypes, the more they are reinforced.
Naw, that's not it. What's they're actually saying is that college will make you think and put different ideas in your head. College creates cognitive dissonance. So watch out, kiddies.
I've read/watched some incest stuff before and I'm able to do so objectively, but whenever I do, I can feel giant steel walls going up in my brain separating the incest reading/hentai from any thoughts about my family. no no. no no no.
"Racism might decline when some ethnicities learn to behave themselves."
If you said that shit in Chicago you'd be a racist/ignorant privileged asshole. Maybe you Aussies shouldn't talk about American cities when you don't know jack shit about our racial politics?
Actually, she called them racists because they were being racist. I guess you didn't look at any of the pictures or videos from teabagging day. Btw Obama is a moslem and not an american citizen.
You're right, some conservatives did protest, they were Ron Paul libertarians. But his tea parties did not get off the ground till Fox news sold it under 100 days of Obama's presidency. That's hypocritical BS.
I wish I was so privileged that I could build a legit business off of being a tall, vapid blonde.
Still waiting for her to become completely, undeniably irrelevant. Stupid hot chicks can stretch that 15 minutes to incredible lengths.
