Yes they are.
It's just not fair on the English people who are generally a peaceful people.
This film should be banned too. |  |

I thought the word Racist was first used in 1902 by Col. Richard Henry Pratt |
What difference does it make where the word comes from?
The concept itself dates back at least as far as Plato. [Post edited 26 Jun 2018 21:12]

So how about we agree that the film isn’t racist in and of itself, it is after all simply a fictionalised account of some historical events. But the events upon which the film is based were absolutely based on the belief that the white race was superior to those with a darker skin hue, be they African or Asian. That was after all at the heart of the UK’s empire building. | |

Seems fair. |  |

Okay....... I’ve just stumbled into this shitstorm, so here it goes:-
1. It is not a documentary. It is a work of fiction, based on actual historical events. It is a pretty accurate depiction, but that still doesn’t make it a documentary.
2. There seems to be arguements over which side was looking to kill the other. Both we’re trying kill the other! It was a BATTLE in a WAR.
3. There were acts of immense bravery and sacrifice on both side (again, battle, war)
4. There were acts of immense violence and savagery on both sides (you get the picture)
5. Is the film racist? - (opinion warning) - No. as previously stated it is a fairly accurate depiction of historical events, so if it’s racist, it’s only because the history is racist. Lots of Germans die in Kelly’s Heroes but nobody calls that racist.
6. Should we care - No. it’s not getting banned is it? Just some nonsense right wing click bait from Facebook designed to further foster and entrench their hideous form of racial nationalism.
I await the insults and accusations of hypocrisy/self righteousness/arrogance/ignorance/being a snowflake/being a racist/being boring...........ect ad absurdum. |
Number six wins the thread and maybe even the Internet. | |

Funny thing is the only people who really should be offended are the descendants of Henry Hook, who in reality was a model soldier, but was turned into a dodgy bastard in the film for no real reason.
His daughters walked out of the Premiere apparently. | |

Gonville Bromhead was deaf as a post and apparently a terrible solider.
Old Maurice was an upgrade. | |

Indeed. Rudyard Kipling dubbed it “The White Mans Burden” (note). The Americans referred to it as “Manifest Destiny”. Whatever you call it, it’s basically the belief in ones racial superiority over others, and the inherent duty to civilise the inferior. It’s been the major driver of geopolitics for millennia and still is to a large degree.
(Note) As well as being the famous Kipling poem, “The White Man’s Burden” is also the name of an excellent book about international development by William Easterly for those interested in such things. |  | | |

In the interest of historical accuracy there were plenty of white people in white countries we’ve been knocking the shit into for centuries too. | |
