[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember when they were outraged Dunkirk had no black characters.

A friggin WW2 movie in Europe where the English were trying to escape for their lives……and they’re mad because that historical story has no major presence of black people.  Truly insane how DEI is a de facto cult.  You can’t even tell stories from history now as they were. [/quote]

Black Americans fought in WWII.  My own mother’s uncle fought in WWI — and sent home letters and pictures that we still have.    The real cult is the effort to erase POC from history— and from fictionalized depictions of history.

Dunkirk was about the British in WWII, not the Americans.  History exists outside of the US, you know.  [/quote]

And before anyone says the British are ignoring blacks, there were less than 40,000 non whites in the entire UK in the 1940 census. Out of 40 million people.

People need to get over the representation obsession. [b]Because one can just as easily turn it around and weaponize it in ways you might not think or expect.[/b] [/quote]

+1 White colonizers are always ready to weaponize things. So don’t make ‘em mad![/quote]
