Mama mia!
I wrote a long post and lost it. Fuck!
Condensed form: My intent wasn't to be flippant or neglect and negate the racist stereotypes (they're there - I don't see anyone trying to deny it) but to highlight other nuances that I believe to be in the film(s) and why they resonate with me. Other then that I don't have much to argue.
"it’s... therapy!
gotta hash it out to move past it" - I hear ya and am with ya on that. I'm definitely not impervious to the stereotypes. My love of the film is not a co-sign on the racism.
Idk - my other response was better but I don't feel like recreating it and I think this one has been combed over. Hope you enjoyed that Negroni!
