Clearly we're all going to have our own opinion of what's racist and what isn't, but to support BES, given that he's Hispanic, watching the little movie where the Hispanic guy has a really stereotypical "Hispanic" accent and his job is to mop the floor? Certainly you can understand where he's coming from.powerbelly said:
Definitely unfunny. Not racist though.
The dude who made the video is Hispanic with a stereotypical Hispanic accent. Certainty you can understand that he isn't being racist.helloimustbegoing said:Clearly we're all going to have our own opinion of what's racist and what isn't, but to support BES, given that he's Hispanic, watching the little movie where the Hispanic guy has a really stereotypical "Hispanic" accent and his job is to mop the floor?

I can't speak to the director's intent, only to Brian's reaction.powerbelly said:The dude who made the video is Hispanic with a stereotypical Hispanic accent.

It's not like I'm super offended, but just because he's Hispanic doesn't mean it can't be racist. It's a very exaggerated, stereotypical accent, and he's playing into stereotypes as a janitor. My guess is he's probably second or third generation and doesn't speak much Spanish.
It might've helped if it was funny, but it wasn't.

Not gatekeeping, just countering that it is not his real accent as was stated above.

So if I go speak in a Scottish accent in a spoof video, wear a kilt and play golf, I am racist?
Seriously. Why would this not have been done in the first place?TexasAggie_02 said:
Wow, they really fixed the chase scene, so more believable now!
Since when did a video/meme need to be funny before its posted? this is a jokeBrian Earl Spilner said:
Wildly racist and unfunny, but sure.

Meanwhile you practice cultural appropriation by choosing a username based on a white guy.

Do you also bang sheep?
Really enjoyed The Old ManTCTTS said:
I haven't seen The Boys yet (I really need to), but I had the same thing happen watching Stranger Things and The Old Man simultaneously. One is obviously sci-fi/fantasy and the other is a similarly-themed show about a badass old man past his prime pulled back into the game/being hunted, and when you watch all episodes of all three shows (including Obi-Wan) in the same week, it's blatantly obvious that the latter is so much worse than the other two in comparison, on nearly every level.
Than again, apparently I can't think for myself, and neither can you, and we're all just miserable Star Wars haters or whatever, never mind the fact that I love Rogue One, Solo, and a good chunk of The Mandalorian, and have been extremely vocal on all three.
