Topic	Dodgeball is a classic film, but is it also really racist?
Torgo 03/17/24 8:33:54 PM #26:	Some of what people think is over-sensitivity is just changing tastes. I never found HEY LOOK AT STEREOTYPE ASIAN HAHA! - to be that funny. It's just a lazy gag that no longer works in a modern movie because Asians are not "exotic outsiders" like they were to the majority western white American audience in eras past. So my take it I am against removing and re-editing movies to change gags and elements that "haven't aged well" but I see no reason to demand we keep using the same lazy and out of touch gags in new movies as a means to virtue signal. --- Aren't we all just a series of tubes? <cite>Torgo posted [p:979423364] in Dodgeball ...
