So recently there was so much hue and cry on social media about Dunkrik -- several people were callling for its boycott and this happens even when some Hollywood actor doesn't recognise a Bollywood actor he is suddenly bashed and made into headlines. Now I was watching Raabta. There is a scene where some auntie is giving tippani to her beta that, "he shouldnt date gori girls, and if he does date then he shouldnt marry them".

Can you imagine if it was some Hollywood movie and some actor/actress said don't date Indian girls or if you date them they aint good for marriage material. The amount of shit storm it would cause would be unbelievable.

So looking for more such W*F movies where Bollywood made fun or crass racist humor and nobody batted an eyelash? Are there any more?

P.S. I know its not really reverse racism in technical terms but close enough as I hate to use the word hypocrisy

SJWs thought it had too many white males.

Personally, I find the whole outrage ridiculous. Why do people whine about the silliest of things? Why demand a token POC in every movie, in fact that is exactly what takes us 100 years back instead of "too many white males" in some movie. Now if it was a movie about Asian or Black characters and it had White characters, I can understand the outrage.

BW movies have always been blatantly racist, prejudiced and all that stuff

Having preference for a particular skin tone (usually white) is one thing but putting down people with darker complexion...

Mocking people who've different accents(South Indians)

BW has never tried to hide it's prejudices, if anything proudly displayed it

LOL. I am sure it must've been black people in an outrage. They want to headline and work in each and every movie. For example we have that Boyega person who is still going on and on about no roles for black people and its ironic coming from someone who is doing the leading role in a blockbuster franchise.

I had ZERO sympathy with all the characters in Dunkirk...i hope they make a movie about the atrocities that they committed in the subcontinent.

LOL. Good one. I dont know the answer myself. I guess its just a matter of time before somebody takes up this cause. Kinda reminds me when people uninstalled Snapchat for a day. 😆

RaOne- srk's character who is a south indian eats noodles with yogurt. That was too much. No south indian eats noodles with yogurt no matter how much they love it.

Punjabis are always shown as loud characters in most of the movies and even serials.

Yeah I agree with this. Having not enough people isn't good of a reason but when it comes to pivotal characters white washing them is a big no no. Its usually the case when sometimes its biblical movies like Noah, or Moses, Prince of Persia etc.
