[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a bit taken a back by the brashness and bigotry of Jodie Foster’s character. She makes several racist comments re natives to many characters in the two episodes (did you hear that from your spirit animal, laundromat grandma, you’re just a night nurse, and then her complete freak out over her step daughter getting sharpie fake tattoo marks). She’s a real bigot. I’m sorry if she has trauma, so what?!

None of those behaviors should be tolerated. She’s just an awful a-hole character. [/quote]

Would you want your daughter to have a tribal tattoo on her face? I sure as hell wouldn’t. I’m pretty sure that would affect job prospects, no? There is nothing racist about wanting your child to adopt to the modern world they live in. Those Inuits seem to like that electricity and central heating the evil White man invented, no? Not tattooing one’s face is a small sacrifice for that trade.[/quote]

It was a sharpie and facial tattoos on women (esp on the chin) are very significant. Listen to yourself. You’re terrible.

There is zero wrong with being a night nurse or working an honest job in a laundromat. The state trooper and her sister are both employees. The crab factory and the mine have Inuits working there. How exactly is the step daughter not living in the modern world. You are disgusting in your bigotry. Really, really awful. [/quote]

What’s really, really awful is what a phony you are. Simple question and try to be honest although I doubt you can be because of the cognitive dissonance involved: would you want your daughter to get a tribal facial tattoo? Yes or no.[/quote]

I have no idea. If she was Inuit, and it was part of her culture (which signifies womanhood) then if that is what she wanted then ok. But Jodie Foster is no mother to that girl based on the 2 episodes we’ve seen. It seems she’s her stepdaughter and that her father was Inuit (based on the flashbacks). What has JF been doing to support her stepdaughter’s culture, other than insult every single native character with whom she has interacted on the show. Every one. [/quote]

DP.  I think the hostility JF has toward the Inuit is obviously part of the plot.  Maybe you should relax just a tad and see how it all plays out?   :roll: [/quote]
