    Using a racially-based pop-culture reference to make fun of someone seems pretty in line with racism to me. Just because it’s making fun of someone we don’t like seems little reason to discount it as racism.

    This is like when someone put a statue of Trump with a micro penis in some park in New York. People loved it, but if someone had done the same thing to Hillary, there would be uproar. I hate Trump, but making fun of his body is no better when it’s him than it is when it’s someone else.

      You literally make no sense. For this to be racist, there would need to be something racist about the comparison. Like say if the movie itself was racist against Indian people. It is not. The joke is literally playing with the title of a movie. There is no further implication whatsoever. It doesn’t make a judgement against him because he is Indian. It is pretty absurd to me that I need to explain this honestly. This is truly reaching to find something “racist” to feel superior about. Only problem is, it’s not there whatsoever. There is nothing racist about noticing a person’s ethnicity. Kinda mind boggling that people could be so blind to reality that they insist that’s a thing.

        Then you’re not listening, and I don’t need to respond.
