[i]lovehotel: So you don't think that's racist?

The other day I was watching Night at the Museum: II because the sproglet wanted to see a dinosaur skeleton come to life again, and was suddenly seriously disturbed. It has Custer, whining about how all he is remembered for is getting his men killed (how 'bout participation in genocide? I thought that was the biggie), and then the night guard goes, "Oh no! You'll be remembered for fighting museum exhibits now! Man up!"

Good, clean fun for kids!

... Or: hello something we'll never ever get on DVD. I'm sure there's more offensive stuff in there but I wasn't paying close attention, and that was what crossed the line for me.

More about that here.

Via [info]metafandom: [info]thete1 says it better: "The simple fact of the matter is that every dollar you spend on these films (and TV shows, and books, and everything else) is a dollar telling Them -- yes, Them -- that it's just fine to piss all over me and other people of color for the sake of 'entertainment.' You're part of the problem."
