[QUOTE="Villano, post: 1292724, member: 505"] Yet, strangely, no one complains that all the bad guys in A New Hope were all white, British men, even Vader (his voice may have been portrayed by James Earl Jones, but his body was provided by British David Prowse). Anyone else remember that Prince Valient cartoon that aired on the Family Channel back in the very early 90s? I clearly recall that one of the knights of the Round Table was black (another [I]might[/I] have been Asian, but I'm not sure). BTW, let's not forget that Disney's Aladin was attacked by Arab groups as being racist because the villain was Arab. Of course, they conveniently overlooked the fact that the hero, princess, genie, parrot, monkey, king, flying carpet, and everyone else in the movie was Arab since the whole damn thing was set in the middle east. :rolleyes: Ironically, the Asian groups should have been upset since the original story took place in China. Once again, the Man supresses the truth! :D Since political correctness says that the only people your can portray as evil or mock are white men, you know what that means: Open season on Canadians! :) [/QUOTE]
