Yes, it's a sweeping generalisation for comedic effect, but it is based in a barely-hidden truth. <br /><br />Feel free to show me all the occasions people in that demographic have called for change, pushed for equality, championed LBGTQ rights.

It's The Oscars. There are bigger things to worry about (like the fact black people can't even have a barbecue in their own yard without a neighbour calling the cops, or the fact you've more chance of being shot by a cop if you are a person of colour). <br />And I'm not treating anyone like a baby. I loved Black Panther.

It's a poor film that has been artificially elevated because a certain section of the media - including you apparently - is incredibly racist and treats black people like babies. Do you have low expectations of black people, so this surprised you? Or do you think black people need special attention so you're giving them a participation award? Either way, you're a racist.<br /><br />>fantastic female characters<br /><br />cringe<br /><br />>we live in an age and a time where race has never been a bigger issue. <br /><br />Really? Not during the 1800s? Or perhaps 1960s? <br /><br />Or do you mean, it's the biggest issue in your living memory. You can easily fix that by engaging with media from outside your filter bubble. Race really isn't that big an issue outside of the organisations who thrive on making it an issue.<br /><br />You need to open your eyes.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365804453528511395noreply@blogger.com
