So okay, new movie coming out about well what the title says...so is it racist or not?
Here's a Summary from Yahoo: One morning, California wakes up to find that one third of its population has disappeared. A strange thick pink fog surrouncs the state and communication outside its boundaries is completely cut off. As the day goes by, we discover that the characteristic that links the 14 million disappeared is their Hispanic background. The economic, political and social implications of this disaster threaten the state's way of life. Suddenly disrupted are the lives of Mary Jo Quintana (Maureen Flannigan), teacher and housewife; Senator Abercrombie (John Getz), hastily promoted to Govenror; Louise McClaire (Muse Watson), ranch owner and agribusiness rep; and Lila Rodriguez (Yareli Arizmendi), reporter and apparently the only Latina left behind. For all of them, the cracks in their private lives are forced wide open. As time goes by, the State continues to deteriorate - garbage has taken over the streets and a mood of desperation pervades as the citizens watch the infrastructure start to crumble. |

QUOTE(sunriseloop90 @ Jun 11 2004, 5:29 AM) Because that is all you guys are qualified for. Ew, that's racist and just ignorant. Seriously, just look before you type. What you said is completely stupid. Anybody is qualified, not only a certain race or ethnicity. What the heck, so you're saying, just because I'm hispanic, I'm qualified to clean tables and stuff? Well you're wrong, you know, it just depends on the person and what expectations they have. I'm hispanic and it doesn't mean I'm going to go work somewhere that I'm 'qualified for' or expected to do. That was just a bunch of BS. *sigh* |
