    If folks can say "white guy", you can flat out say "black guy". Nout racist about it..."negro" sounds daft...

    As for is GAR a racist? Erm, simple answer - no. I think it's pretty clear.

    You've solved the mystery of my family.....they came through Ellis Island (legally) all those years ago after coming down off the Caucaus Mountains, deciding to settle as white people in the northeastern U.S.

    Now if we could just straighten everyone else out just as easily!

    Sounds easy enough, doesn't it? But, we've being going to such great lengths to kiss ass and not hurt anyone's feelings here in the U.S. that people get their asses hurt by anything they perceive as offensive. Glad to hear things still make sense accross the sea....because everyone is special here.

    Well, I wouldn't say that, it's pretty damn retarded over here when it comes to political correctness, but perhaps it's a little bit less retarded here than it is in America?

    You have all that crazy Mus;im stuff. How soon we forget.

    Calling Black people Negroes is ridiculous. Why not just use Colored like our friend here?

    Where's your picture of Louis Farrakhan?


    Well, don't all New Yorkers think they're special in that little world they live in?

    Just kidding, I spent my first 21 years keeping all the toll booths in business up there.

    I dont think Farrakhan says negro either.
    Besides, he's retired.

    If your not over 60, like way over, you just sound goofy saying negro.
    Black People get really pissed when people **** with them. Why? Becasue people DO always **** with them. It's not like they are imagining it. Just look at some of the posts on this board.

    You kept all the toll booths in business? I'm supposed to thank you for that?!?!

    No, he isn't racist. He has said many times he casts parts based upon who is the best actor for the part, not color not race not nationality.

    So, by that single statement, your complete arguement is null and void

    I highly doubt Romero is racist considering he's half Cuban. Haha.

    I thought they played the onle sensible roles

    I can't say it was Bens fault for most everyone dying in the first film. His was an idea that made sense... fortify the house and dont lock yourself into a tiny hole with only one way out.

    And Peter was the only sensible person in Dawn of the Dead. Roger just thought it was all some kind of game. And Michael and Gaylen (can't recall her name just now) were too scared to behave with discipline.

    And in Day of the Dead I thought the black guy made quite a bit of sense even if he didn't act like everyone else. And his idea about finding an island to settle on instead of staying where they were was the only thing that saved them in the end. And he wasn't the only lazy person in that movie... the electrical guy was basically as indifferent as the black man about helping out.

    But I see what you're saying ... I think black people in zombie movies was to better reflect the diversity of the country and they're some pretty good actors
    You smell that? That's the smell of spring, and I love it. You know what I love to do in spring? I love to come out into the woods, to walk amongst the budding trees, to smell and taste the hint of renewal that hovers in the air like a heady perfume, and to listen to the song of the birds who have returned from their long sojourn south. And bury the people I killed during the winter...

    This may be the strangest thread ever started here.

    GAR a racist ?

    Considering the brother is usually the protagonist in his films, I'd say hell no. Is the original Thread Starter a racist ?

    Probably.

    Are you? There are no exact criteria for being a racist, despite the black and white tradition found throughout American history. Anyone can hold a prejudice.

    How the hell can you assume the threat starter is a racist because he had questions? God forbid someone asks questions or goes against the grain, he's naturally assumed to be a racist.
