Fuck John Wayne.
Why?
He’s a racist and sexist piece of shit. His legacy is still being used to push the “good 'ol boys” mentality and toxic Christian evengalicalism.
Sexy boi
Try finding a Mongolian dude in 1950s America
1956 was racist as hell though.
Racism was pervasive in 1956. Still is, but it used be to too.
RIP Mitch
At least this movie killed him
John Wayne himself attributed his cancer yo his 5 pack a day smoking habit.
Out of a cast and crew of 220, 91came down with cancer, and 46 died
Hollywood did not hire people who weren’t white, unless they were black and used for a black role, and not always even then, for a very long time. Even today there are representation problems in Hollywood and in other media in general. In other words, America is racist, nice of you to notice.
As somebody who immigrated to the US, I came to conclusion that a lot of the world is far more racist. US is just openly fighting that so it is much more visible.
The US is probably the least racist country or at least a top contender.
People don’t get that there’s going to be problems since we have sizable populations of people from pretty much every country
The US openly fights racism like you said
We’re very vocal about when the US f’d up in the past
Our news is broadcast and talked about everywhere since many parts of the internet have a US bias
And the US cares about trying to have a semblance of equality
I agree! While its going to be an unpopular opinion:
I’ve lived on all continents save two and I believe the USA is the least racist country in the world by a massive margin, now this dosent mean that systematic racism is not a problem in the US, I’d argue its a bigger problem here than in other parts of the world. Other parts of the world thst are, weirdly enough. More racist!?
If you stop to consider the amount of hate being spewed in America on a daily basis toward people of various skin colors, weather directly so online or more covertly using coded language on news, The US would definitely appear very racist.
But I’ve lived here in various states, all over the US save the west coast, for almost a decade now, and Americans are by far the least racist people around thst I’ve encountered that number more than a couple million.
I belive the average American is very prejudiced however, especially against other Americans who happen to be black. Especially if they also sound or dress black.
Really anyone who sounds or dresses in a non-white way.
What I got from your post is ‘the least racist American is very prejudiced against none white people”
So American still America, America still racist
Why I don’t find your response very discussionable. This post isent supposed to be here. That was supposed to be a reply to a completely different thread/parent comment somewhere else!?
We have a state advocating for the positives of slavery. America is atill incredibly racist, it’s just a lot more open than in Europe since we have a way more diverse population than them.
'Murica and racism, name a more iconic duo
Ever seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s?
I’m sure I’ll never understand that movie or why so many college friends (early 2000’s) loved it.
That’s ok, though. Aside from this, I doubt I’ll think of it for another decade.
Wow, jeez, never seen this before. Terrible.
I’ll be invading China now… Pilgrum.

Or Alec Guiness playing Prince Fasial in Lawrence of Arabia
NGL he kinda looks like the actual dude
Close enough.
How about Iron Eyes Cody playing the famous crying Indian commercial though he’s Italian and spent most of his career running actual indigenous peoples out of Hollywood.
