The Magnificent Seven : Too PC for the time period

Too PC for the time period

People criticized quinton Tarantino for using the "n word" frequently in the hateful 8. And while that is offensive, that's how a lot of people referred to African Americans back in the 1870s. But not once did anyone refer to Denzel Washington as that in magnificent 7. Not even the bad guys. Im all in favor of political corectness, but it just didnt ring true to me that in a movie set in the Wild West, nobody used any racial slurs when referring to any of the non white characters.

That's so they could achieve the magical PG-13

Re: Too PC for the time period

I'm sorry you're racist. It must be hard for you.

Try yelling the "N" bomb when you're in your bathroom. Yell it really loud. You'll feel better.

Sometimes I yell at Cardinals and Owls during the morning and the night. Chickadees suck too. I hate Cardinals and I can't stand Owls. I once watched a movie where no-one said "shut up Owl". It cut me to the quick. I now know to yell obsessively at the TV when a bird is featured. Now I feel better.

You're OK. I'm OK. The Owl is OK. The bottle cap to my left is OK. My pants are OK. My daughters dolls are OK.

It's OK to have a western that isn't super racist.

Also PC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Too PC for the time period

So every rapper and most African Americans are racist? Surely you don't hold African Americans to different standards than you do other people, right? That would make you a dirt stupid bigot.

Re: Too PC for the time period

I feel that some words can be retaken and made normal. Now, I'm not black, so using the N word would be out of line. However, I do refer to myself as a degenerate Slav from time to time. Is that worse or better?

All of my extended family, but one, from Croatia is dead. All killed because they were Slaves. I still call myself a Slav. I always say "Degenerate Slav" because it makes a point.

Re: Too PC for the time period

I think that it is politically correct for the current time period. Obviously, few people in the time period depicted would refrain from using the "n word".
