I would have to agree on this one. I hate the fact that there are people out there that just need something to bitch about. If there isn't something that they are agree about they have to find the dumbest and most minuscule thing to pick at. These type of people need to get a life.

First and foremost excuse my harshness, I must express my true anger on this one. This anger is directed towards Martina Guzman and anyone that thinks as she does... Ok, number 1 why would Lucas only cast people of ONE race? He wouldn't. Why? Because Star Wars takes place in the UNIVERSE. Does anyone have any idea what kind of species lives out there? I mean come on, in San Fran alone we have so many different races... In the original people complained that it was all white people!!! Number 2... he looked LATINO?????????? Martina Guzman is a dumb bitch if she thinks that. Jango and Boba's charachters are both from New Zealand. Even when told that to her face, her alogations continued... unbeleiveable. And COME ON!!!! Complaining that the planet in which they were cloned on sounds too much like a spanish word????? Camino means "road" or "I walk"... Yeah, those sound like fighting words to me... Next we are going to hear: "I dont think it's right that Lucas made the charachters speak english! Yeah, that's just wrong and is a direct racial attack on the European race and heritage." My lord people will come up with all kinds of bullshit to complain about! Get your heads out of your asses and enjoy a GREAT movie for once. Absolutly rediculous. -=Psykoral=- Raven Productions http://www.technorealm.net http://www.ravenproductions.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "developers, developers, developers, developers !" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 1:38 PM Subject: [D] nrr: wtf, now star wars 2 is considered racist ?! > http://detnews.com/2002/entertainment/0205/18/d01-492788.htm > > first ppl bitch about the viceroy sounding too asian. now jango looks > too latino ?!? > > from the article: > > Temuera Morrison, the actor who plays Jango, is a New Zealander of > Maori descent.
