This movie is hilarious, I really suggest it, especially if you are easily offended :)

"Qallunaat (Why White People are Funny) is Canadian filmmaker Mark Sandiford’s irreverent look at Western ethos through the eyes of the Inuit, who for generations were the cultural lab rats of anthropologists, national governments and Arctic explorers. The Inuit term for white people, Qallunaat (pronounced howl-u-not) is at times laugh out loud funny and an insightful analysis.

As the title suggests, you expect a parody and Qallunaat delivers. The QSI building, architecturally Western, nods to the stereotypical igloo we’ve seen on ice cream cartons and cartoons. The Caucasians depicted onscreen are hyper-white—blond, bland, and arrogantly clueless; disregarding common sense when trying to dominate the unfamiliar Arctic environment. As expected, they fail miserably and the Inuit are amused and amazed by their lack of cultural acuity. Another scene, at the “Department of White Man’s Affairs,” shows whites lining up to receive an assigned number ID since their European names are just too darn difficult to pronounce. "

Take a look at the rest of the write up (http://www.nativevue.org/blog/?p=308), and let me know what you think. Too far?

If only Nordland was still around....

You mean "Nanuk" isn't in fashion anymore? Aw... :(

Here's another reason white people are funny...

How about when they go lie in the sun for four hours and come back looking like crabs?

White people are the singularly most dull race of people on earth. There is a reason why we're compared to white bread...

White people are the singularly most dull race of people on earth. There is a reason why we're compared to white bread...I hope you're not suggesting that Monty Python are black or so... :p

i agree, i'm fucking hilarious :p


but, seriously, that film sounds interesting.

I hope you're not suggesting that Monty Python are black or so... :p

And if I do? ;)

And if I do? ;)Then we'll have to use... the comfy CHAIR!

"The mocking portrayal of Caucasians is interspersed with authentic film clips of Inuits from the early and mid 20th century. One video, produced in 1956 by the National Film Board of Canada, condescendingly commends Eskimos for their “quick ability to pick up imitative skills” and “good humor.” Whereas the racism and superciliousness in the videos may be comical by today’s standards, they relay the prevailing belief of hundreds of years. It’s that realization that makes the ridicule of white society in Qallunaat mild compared to the ravaging Natives endured by comparison. "


"Clearly, if you’re white, it’s not comfortable hearing yourself described as smelly and personally rigid. But that’s the point; the point Qallunaat makes effectively and never ever mean-spirited. "

I wonder how many people are going to cry racism once they see this?

Then we'll have to use... the comfy CHAIR!

I'll get the soft cushions.

I wonder how many people are going to cry racism once they see this?I dunno. It doesn't seem so to me.

Now what I'd love to see is a redo of an old Western, all of the actors being aboriginal, with half of them in white face playing cowboys :) I want Graham Greene to play John Wayne!

This is morally deplorable.

How can we expect to create a world of equality when inequality exists?

Why do blacks have the right to place the 'race' card at every turn, yet if a white person tries, they are laughed out of the room? Racism is a two way street.

This is proof that liberals are going too far these days. First we allow for whites to be publicly mocked by people of colour. Of course, the whites targeted are always Christian. No one ever picks on a Jew. This is very selective racism.

Liberals want nothing more than to be able to mock religion out of existence, while justifying hatred against whites. They hate themselves. Guilt by association.

Of course, this could be fixed if they ended their godless ways.

I like you, you're funny. By the way, try to read. There were no "blacks" involved in this.

Of course I love your logic, it's all the white christians who get picked on, nobody ever insults the jews, and nobody ever gets called "******".

Eskimos are black people. Everybody knows that.

Sounds kinda funny. Maybe someone can update us when it's available for pirated download? :)

Technically, everyone has the "right" to play the race card. So don't act like someone is stomping on your precious whites. I mean, rights.

This is proof that liberals are going too far these days.

What does this have to do with being liberal? Oh lemme see... absolutely balls-out NOTHING. You may have a good point with double standards, but you throw it away by making an idiotic generalization of your own.

At least this movie is funny; you are merely a hypocrite.

Haha! Okay, I take it back; you ARE funny. Another funny little man expounding on the Evil Conspiracy To Destroy Christianity And White People. Where do Evil Muslims fit in, are they a Fifth Column in collusion with the Evil Hispanics hoping to subvert and destroy our precious bodily fluids?

*nods* Borat didn't make fun of Jews at all. Or blacks. At all.

Borat's JEWISH.

hehehe, you're kidding right?

I mean Western European.

I dunno, it's still going on pretty strong.

The Russians are in deep trouble, their average life expectancy is appalling and their military is a shambles.

The Chinese will always stand to gain more by selling things to the west than they will fighting it.

Africa isn't going anywhere fast.

South America isn't going anywhere fast.

India could be struck down overnight by the Pakistanis, and vice versa.

The Arabs will, for the foreseeable future, rely on their business with the west to maintain the stranglehold of their elites on their seething masses of religious maniacs. If we ever stop needing their oil, they are finished. Forever.

Western Europe with its extension in the US and Canada will remain hegemon of the world for the foreseeable future.

This is because of the centuries of advantages we've had. We made everyone else our instrument and our resource, and they are all still recovering from it while we are still soaring on those stolen wings.

hehehe, you're kidding right?

Nothing in my post about "ethnic supremacy"
All statements there are facts with clear, non-ethnic, geographically determined causes. See, say, Jared Diamond's "Guns Germs and Steel."

Try again.

ETA:
To offend someone you need to more or less make jokes at their expense, to make them feel inferior.

With the immense socio-political-economical advantages almost all whites are born into, this is no easy task.

This is what I hate about racialism, it means retards like you start taking credit for the works of Beethoven. You had nothing to do with it; Beethoven being white had nothing to do with it, but you take credit for it anyway.

Racists are intellectually dishonest; they are plagiarists who discredit the work of an individual by claiming it's the work of Race.

You are collectivists; communists, even. You believe in a human hive-mind and you attack the individual; you attack liberty.

No statements I made implied any "ethnic superiority" of white people, they only referred to facts about history and the state of things that give white people an advantage over most other people.

If you misunderstood that, you ought to have said "New Granada, I dont understand what you mean, are you trying to say that white people have ethnic superiority to non-white people?"

I consider, in reference to your last outburst of defamatory, repugant, despicable, dishonest personal attack, that what I posted originally stands.

A white person can (in general, of course, there are wacky outliers in every population) not be offended in the sense that a black person could by "******" or "spear-chucking mud hut jungle bunny" or a chinese person by "coolie" or "chink" or a mexican by "spic" or a jew by "kike."

These offenses all relate to reopening old wounds, they equate to a person being kicked while he's wounded and on the ground. It is offensive for a white person to be a racist against a non-white because those remarks are a low-blow.

Whites have done enough harm to the rest that racist invective is cowardly.
Racist epithets by whites are essentially undeserved, which lends them their ugliness.

Attemps to offend whites though must almost necessarily come more in the form of shaming for actual wrongs, which isnt offensive in the same way that low-blow attacks on people in already made victims are.

There are alot of Germans who aren't white.

Race is an unscientific concept. Humans originated in Africa. Many achievements we still enjoy emerged from the Near East, North Africa, and Asia. Superior? Read a decent book on evolution and then some proper history books. You'll find this supposed superiority is entirely unfounded.

If you are playing the part of a "caps lock on and proud" white power type, I'd advise making that all one paragraph,using excessive and dodgy punctuation/exclamations, and worse spelling. Just a tip.

Firstly there is heaps of different kinds of white people if ur boiling it down to english speaking people there are generaly three kinds English, Australian and American but if u do that u have to say italian people ,german people, the greeks are all not white which is crap... and cocasions have never realy been boiled down to there own catagory so when u say are white people funny u gotta elaborate... secondly fuck that what ever happend to good old diversety u cant tell me that that a rich "white" guy and a poor one who grew up in a bad neibourghood are just as funny as each other.

There are alot of Germans who aren't white.

They're not German, they just live in Germany. If I wanted to, I could be fucking Chinese.

They're not German, they just live in Germany. If I wanted to, I could be fucking Chinese.

But would the Chinese want to be fucking you?

But would the Chinese want to be fucking you?

Zing!

But would the Chinese want to be fucking you?

ROFL! 10!!!

They're not German, they just live in Germany. If I wanted to, I could be fucking Chinese.

So, in order to be German you have to be white? Bullshit, If you were born in Germany, regardless of race, you are German.

They're not German, they just live in Germany.

so what exactly makes one german? some particular set of genetic mutations?

You can make white people feel ashamed, but you can't offend them, because we always win, and we've been winning for a long long time.

From a historical perspective, white people only won a game, not the seasonal.

In the end, the cockroaches win.

In the end, the cockroaches win.

Fuck the roaches! (Not literally, of course.) :mad:

So, in order to be German you have to be white? Bullshit, If you were born in Germany, regardless of race, you are German.

No.

No.
Would you consider yourself British? After all, you are of the same race as the majority of Britons... :rolleyes:

Would you consider yourself British? After all, you are of the same race as the majority of Britons... :rolleyes:

No, I consider the British to be Germans.

No, I consider the British to be Germans.
So you're basically saying that if a (white) Briton claimed that they were German, it would be an accurate statement?

What the hell?

No, I consider the British to be Germans.

The English, perhaps. The British includes a very large number of Celts. We've got Norman blood in there and all... It's quite a mix. The myth of us all being pureblood Anglo-Saxons is just that. A myth.

So you're basically saying that if a (white) Briton claimed that they were German, it would be an accurate statement?

What the hell?

Oh god, don't start him off. He's an Aussie who thinks he's German because he has Germanic blood or something...

*dances like its 1879*

Ich werde nicht erlauben, dass irgendjemand an mir in jener Mode schreit. Ich denke, dass Sie besser Ihren Kopf aus Ihrem Esel erhalten. Bitte fordere ich Sie heraus, zu Oktoberfest zu gehen, und die Deutsch dort zu erzählen, dass ihre Kultur saugt. Ich fordere Sie, Sie dumme kleine Muschi heraus. Sie werden nicht, weil Sie nur denken, weil der einzige Weg, den Sie „tapfer“ sein können, durch das Internet ist.

It's insulting him in a different language,
I wouldn't say that's a 'language' you sent on display there.

it's kind of fun because he's or anyone has any clue on what I've said.
I must assume that includes you.
Racist assholes can be fun. :D

Replying to cognitively challenged trolls with an oh so haughty and intellectual mess of garbled Babelgerman must be so much more fun. I'd say you'd do much better taking your own advice and pull your own head out of your ass and consider how "brave" it is to post such replies in such a manner on the internet. Or did I just miss the day where putting "stupid little ****" into any miserable online-translater and copy-pasting it here became a distinguished, smart reply?

anyway to cut this whole whole race argument short about german blood, celtic blood etc...

Hate to tell you guys its bullshit. Culture is one thing, the cultures are germanic, romance, celtic, etc...

The Haplogroup that is most defined as being part of the Germanics 'races' (goths, vandals, norse, etc...) is haplogroup I1A. The highest concentration of this can be found in scandinavia. Even then it does not even make up half.
The haplogroup most prevalent in western europe is R1B which appears to have been in europe since the last ice-age.

So a vast majority of people are neither germanic or celtic. and few have the relelvant genetic markers

Funny, in a sad, sick sort of way.

nope plain Fun-ny

The film sounds great. Perhaps it'll help white people realising that being white is not the "norm", and that Inuits and others can view whites as being different too.

Not to mention help people have a long hard think about how Inuits have been viewed.

If ever this is available in France I'll probably watch it.

"whites"? don't you mean canadians?

not all white people are the same you know? :D

Oh, and this reminds me of a short Australian film I once saw: BabaKiueria (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0166032/).

"whites"? don't you mean canadians?

not all white people are the same you know? :D

Canadians? Don't you mean white Canadians?

Not all Canadians are the same, you know. :p

Canadians? Don't you mean white Canadians?

Not all Canadians are the same, you know. :p

White canadians? Don't you mean quebecoi (sp?), anglo-saxons canadians, etc..??

not all...

actually i'm going to stop now if not this could go on for a LONG time.:)

What's this "we" crap? You didn't do jack shit.

This is what I hate about racialism, it means retards like you start taking credit for the works of Beethoven. You had nothing to do with it; Beethoven being white had nothing to do with it, but you take credit for it anyway.

Racists are intellectually dishonest; they are plagiarists who discredit the work of an individual by claiming it's the work of Race.

You are collectivists; communists, even. You believe in a human hive-mind and you attack the individual; you attack liberty.

Heh, I've often tried to make pretty much that same point to the racists.

Gotta wonder if everyone here would be laughing if the film were "Why Black People Are Funny" or "Why Arabs Are Funny." I'm guessing not so many.

You're missing the point. It is legitimate to invite the dominant group in society to take a look at its own prejudices, past and present, and satire is a good way to do that.

"Political correctness" in this instance would simply mean preventing an important issue from being raised.

But only the dominant group? Smacks of racism to me...

But only the dominant group? Smacks of racism to me...
I don't see "race" anywhere in the expression "dominant group".

I don't see "race" anywhere in the expression "dominant group".

No, of course not. That would've made the actual meaning of the statement too obvious.

But only the dominant group? Smacks of racism to me...

The dominant group is not necessarily limited to one ethnic group, but from what I gather this film looks back at practices and views held by the dominant society at a time when the latter was almost exclusively white.

Have you read the article the OP linked to? I don't think you can claim the intent is seriously racist. Rather the aim is to challenge any lingering racial prejudice in the dominant society (and make it take a look at its past), via that age-old literary process of holding up a "mirror" to it / inverting the situation (much as the film Africa Paradis does (http://www.france24.com/france24Public/en/news/culture.html), which I started another thread about).

Of course anti-white racism exists within minority groups in Western countries. But this isn't a case of it, and it would be very wrong to toss out this film for misguided "political correctness".

Fuck that. Speak for yourself. You can offend a white person. For example, by harping on about this sorta ethnic supremacy BS. It's offensive to my intellect.
Excellent post, and excellent point. Not all 'white' people run around saying, 'we win we win, ok, little guilty, but WE WIN!!!!'

Many actually give a shit, are willing to work to make things better for EVERYONE, not just the fair-skinned.

But only the dominant group? Smacks of racism to me...

What about "people like you"? Would that suit?

ETA:
To offend someone you need to more or less make jokes at their expense, to make them feel inferior. There is no need to make 'whites' feel inferior, worse, lesser than. But popping a hole in the superiority complex YOU espouse...that is definately worthwhile.

You quoted Guns, Germs and Steel...but you didn't actually seem to have read it, if you think it backs up your claims in any way. You equate socio-political-economic advantage to what...skin colour? Culture? Diamond attributes it to pure, dumb luck, with an emphasis on dumb.

It's funny, what makes white privilege so annoying is not the 'white' or even the 'privilege'. It is the firm belief of an elite few that 'white' is the rhyme and reason for the 'privilege'. Exploitation, racism, heterosexism and classism are OKAY if YOU win...but are examples of cultural inferiority in others.

All that is asked of you is to stop undervaluing everyone else in your quest to make yourself feel wonderful about being white.

What about "people like you"? Would that suit?

Nice. :rolleyes:

You are Anti-American and people like you should never have been shat out to begin with.

Woah woah woah! Good points about taking the credit...but please, do not demean the labels of 'communist' or 'collectivists' by applying it to racist bigots! Damn!

Gotta wonder if everyone here would be laughing if the film were "Why Black People Are Funny" or "Why Arabs Are Funny." I'm guessing not so many.

I would *takes face off to reveal…Jim Davidson!*

I'm racially insensitive :)

Yay a new troll! Can we keep him mods please? We promise to feed, water, and play with him everyday! Please?!

He's not that new...but doesn't he keep getting forumbanned? I am definately familiar with the nation name.

No, I consider the British to be Germans.

Hilarious :D

"Political correctness" in this instance would simply mean preventing an important issue from being raised.

Isn't that what political correctness is all about? Glossing over real life issues by using bland, meaningless language, whilst doing absolutely nothing to sort things out.

Jesus Fucking Christ :rolleyes:

I surely meant what you posted and I bolded up there, clearly, which is especially why I posted this:

Nothing in my post about "ethnic supremacy"
All statements there are facts with clear, non-ethnic, geographically determined causes. See, say, Jared Diamond's "Guns Germs and Steel."

Try again.
.

and this:



Clearly, as any reasonable adult could understand, I posted the reference to GG&S as part of my mention of geographical, non-ethnic determinism as a response to your unfounded, dishonest, slanderous, repugnant implication that I invoked any notion of "ethnic superiority."
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
All i'm asking of you is that you pay attention.


On your second argument:
You aren't addressing at all the distinction between shaming someone, ie, a white person who has benefitted from the above listed evils, and offending someone, which is more along the lines of 'kicking him when he's down' or making low-blow attacks.

I contend that it isnt really feasible to make low-blow attacks on european and american culture because they already operate at a very distinct advantage.

I suppose the simplest form of my argument is this: You can't offend a white person about being white, by mentioning racist slanders and using racist epithets, because no term against white people can ever remind them of being beaten or servile.

Calling someone a "******" clearly equates him with a slave and a second class citizen, ditto "kike" or "spic" or "coolie."

What I mean, and what has been repeatedly misunderstood and misrepresented by the shrill and inattentive is that white people's history does not leave much room to offend them.

Shame them perhaps, but not offend.

The film sounds great. Perhaps it'll help white people realising that being white is not the "norm", and that Inuits and others can view whites as being different too.

Not to mention help people have a long hard think about how Inuits have been viewed.

If ever this is available in France I'll probably watch it.

What I like about it, is that it's not mean. It's silly, in a very tongue-in-cheek way. And they cut into national film board movies doing similar, serious studies on the Inuit, and making ridiculous, racist statements about them. Sometimes, just to get people to learn a little history of how others have been treated, it's necessary to try and show them how ridiculous it would be by doing it to them.

Isn't that what political correctness is all about? Glossing over real life issues by using bland, meaningless language, whilst doing absolutely nothing to sort things out.

I thought it was about being able to play the race card in an argument and getting millions in lawsuits :confused:

:p

EVERYTHING I SAID WAS THE TRUTH!!! WHITE EUROPEAN MAN HAS CONTRIBUTED MORE TO THIS PLANET THAN ANY OTHER TYPE OF MAN AND THAT IS FACT!!! AND BELIEVE ME, I AM NOT A COMMUNIST, I HATE COMMUNISTS AND THE THOUGHT OF 'EQUALITY'. EQUALITY PRODUCES WEAKNESS. I AM NOT ANTI AMERICAN EITHER AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU CAME TO THAT CONCLUSION!

THE FACT IS THAT INDIVIDUALS OF THE WHITE RACE HAVE CONTRIBUTED SO MUCH MORE THAN OF ANY OTHER RACES ON THIS PLANET.

http://www.p0stwh0res.com/images/domesticEthug.jpg

Nice caps, too. Makes your argument all the more intelligent.

Gotta wonder if everyone here would be laughing if the film were "Why Black People Are Funny" or "Why Arabs Are Funny." I'm guessing not so many.

That's the whole point. Look back and you will find many films with essentially that theme, but not done in a joking manner. This is out and out a parody on very real 'studies' of other cultures, as viewed through the racist and ethnocentric lens of the culture doing the studying. When you watch the foolish things done...measuring the heads of whites, seeing how they react to certain situations and making wild guesses about their motivations, it strikes you as ridiculous. But the same thing done to other people in other cultures has passed as 'science' for many years.

Woah woah woah! Good points about taking the credit...but please, do not demean the labels of 'communist' or 'collectivists' by applying it to racist bigots! Damn!

There is a distinction between the racist we - the "we as in the superior race" - which does 'take credit' and plagiarize the work of people, and the socio-economic-cultural we.

The latter doesnt take credit for anything, but just identifies the group (in north america and other european colonies the whites) who established the first advantages and still benefit from them today.

Institutional racism in business and racism in culture helps whites advance in the US, and the longer duration of better opportunities that whites have had makes their families on average more wealthy and therefore able to get education for their kids.

Like it or not, a white person born in the US has, on average, maximal advantage compared to a black or hispanic or native person. This advantage isnt innate, of course, but based - as I already posted and certain individuals chose to ignore or could not understand - on the happy accident of european geography.

But only the dominant group? Smacks of racism to me...

1 satirical movie studying 'whites' versus hundreds of racist 'studies' of Inuit culture. Hmmm. Not overwhelmingly in support of your cry of 'racism' against the dominant society. Now, blacks, Asians, etc have NOT gone around studying the Inuit, so making a movie about studying THEM would be pointless, now wouldn't it?

Isn't that what political correctness is all about? Glossing over real life issues by using bland, meaningless language, whilst doing absolutely nothing to sort things out.

Read the OP please...there is nothing bland, meaningless or PC about this movie. That's the point. But highlighting racism and ethnocentric judgements as practiced against the dominant culture, the hope is that the dominant culture will look at past practices and realise that the same problems were inherent in the various studies done on other cultures.

I suppose the simplest form of my argument is this: You can't offend a white person about being white, by mentioning racist slanders and using racist epithets, because no term against white people can ever remind them of being beaten or servile.

Calling someone a "******" clearly equates him with a slave and a second class citizen, ditto "kike" or "spic" or "coolie."

Shame them perhaps, but not offend.

Okay, I can see where you're coming from with this. But I don't really see that there is a need to demean whites for being white, in the same way that a black can be demeaned for being black. Although...I think you are glossing over some very effective terms that can offend white people, and remind them of being less than a first class citizen...'white trash' in particular, is a very effective insult, even used by one white against another. But alright, taken as a whole, no, you can't compare the slurs used against whites as having the same impact as those used against non-whites...IF you are only taking into account the meaning of those slurs from the white perspective. I won't go into that too much, but just to provide an example...calling native people 'squaws' or 'savages' pisses us off...but there is a subjective belief held by the person saying these things that being who we are is bad and savage. We do not (unless we've internalised these beliefs) have the same feeling about ourselves. So you piss us off, sure...but I don't necessarily think that you piss us off anymore than you might be pissed off being called inbred white trash.

So...hmmm...yes, I think you CAN offend white people...not by equating them with a ruling class, but by demeaning them to second class. Not all whites are privileged, educated, or elite...suggest that a white person is less than these things, and you demean him or her in a comparable way to how people of colour can be demeaned, regardless of their actual socio-economic status.

I agree that white trash can be offensive, but I would think it only offends people who fit the bill, and that the operative part is "trash" and not "white." White trash arent looked down upon because of being white, but because of being poor and unsophisticated.

I imagine that a movie satirizing studying white people would be funny, but I dont think it would be all that offensive. There arent too many toes to step on or raw nerves to hit.

White trash arent looked down upon because of being white, but because of being poor and unsophisticated. No, I don't think you're entirely right there. They are indeed looked down upon because of their colour AND being poor and unsophisticated. Other white people are disgusted by them and want to distance themselves, and the non-whites think, 'with all the advantages these people have over us, and they still fuck their cousins and live in trailerparks?'...

No, what is lacking in your comment is humour, period. That, and this underlying burr in your saddle which prevents you from making any useful additions to the topic of conversation. What you've missed is that this movie makes fun of Canadians, white Canadians in particular because they were the ones carrying out experiements on the Inuit. The movie has analysis. You...have spiteful copycat comments.

As for what Gift-of-god said, sorry, did you actually wish to defend Ikfaldu's ridiculous statements?

I'm not going to defend anyone's statements but my own.

As for the "experiements" you mention, there's a difference between experiments on a people and studying their culture. Studying a people is how we learn about them. How that can be a bad thing is beyond me.

Not sure how your comments are vaguely comparable to an analysis of ethnocentric cultural studies.

Typical stance of intellectual superiority on your part.

You have made a number of statements worth ignoring. You are deliberately obfuscating the issue. You have outright stated that cultural studies could not possibly be bad. This movie proves the lie, by showing how ethnocentrism spoils the process, skewing results, and creating 'knowledge about other cultures' that is inherently flawed.

You're in a for a long feckin wait.......
Yeah, his only point so far has been an attempt to offend me with the term 'PC'. But I know quite well I'm not a Tory, so...:confused: hahahahaaha...

Proves in this context could be used in the sense of to test.
'Proving ground'
'The exception proves the rule' = the exception tests the rule.

I make no judgement on whether it does or not.

Sorry, Cluich, but perhaps I am not the brightest crayon in the box because I can not see what your point is. Could you perhaps repeat it for me in the clearest language possible?

Thank you.

Proves? Excuse me, proves? You must be joking. Please tell me you're joking.
I'm not sure why you would have so much difficulty with the concept. If I look at you, judging you from my worldview and specific set of cultural standards, and apply that worldview and set of standards to what you do, the information I will glean from your goings on will not accurately reflect what you are doing or why. For example...knowing nothing about the actual context of paper money, I could look at you, with it in your wallet, or exchanging it for goods, and make draw ridiculous conclusions about what you think about paper money, and how it is used. There was a great write up I read once about how the 'ceremony of brushing one's teeth' might be seen from someone totally unfamiliar with the process.

But seriously, see the movie. And I'm not joking, 'proves' is indeed the correct word...the thesis of this movie is widly supported even among cultural anthropologists.

Sorry, Cluich, but perhaps I am not the brightest crayon in the box because I can not see what your point is. Could you perhaps repeat it for me in the clearest language possible?

his point? Racism by white people is ok. Non white pople stereotyping racist white behaviors are, however, racist and hypocritical

More than happy to.

As I said earlier in this thread, those who think this is funny or whatever, would most likely be going through the roof if it were directed at any people other than whites. You think a "Why Black People Are Funny" or "Why Arabs Are Funny" film would get any sort of positive attention? Of course not. But because this one goes after whites, it's apparently okay. It's a bullshit double standard.

That clear enough?

the one itsy bitsy teeny tiny detail you're missing in all of this is the fact that it was directed at "non whites" for years, and if you think this kind of attitude and behavior ISN'T directed at non whites every single day, but instead of with tongue and cheek sarcasm with absolute sincerity, then you are way out of the bounds of reality.

Clear enough, and as backwards as when you first said it. This movie points OUT the double standard, by satirising real-life studies of Inuit people as being not only culturally inappropriate, but just bad science. Doing similar things to whites yields equally useless results, and highlights how the approach taken by Canadians studying the Inuit was racist, ethnocentric, and in some ways, quite damaging.

But rather than look at this, you see 'ATTACK ON WHITES'. So...go ahead and molest that straw man, but for the love of god, do it in private!

Way to put words in my mouth, Sin. Never called Canadians dumb. Again, nice try.

Hahahahaha, you really do NEED to make everything about you, don't you? Trust me, that comment was for Gift-of-God's benefit.

It's wrong either way.

pointing out racism is wrong? And I thought you hated "pc" because it "glossed over real issue without actually correcting them". I thought you'd be in favor of a film that pointed out past nd present racist attitudes.

You know, just as far as it doesn't offend you to hear.

Ah, my apologies then. Didn't get the ref. *blush*

There you go ... you beat me too it ... congrads :D

It's wrong either way.

Except that in this movie, they aren't even remotely serious. The clips shown, making racist comments about Inuit, WERE. Just playing those clips, and remarking on the racism, would not have been nearly as effective as turning things around, and aping the 'techniques' in this way. Now, it could have been aliens doing this to any group, but it was fitting to do it this way...down to the 'western style' research centre mocking the igloo shaped research centres you'll find peppered throughout the North. And the Department of Whiteman Affairs is a direct shot at the still all-powerful Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. (now INAC)

If I can find one example, would you shut the fuck up?

That poor, poor bastard. Of all the people who could have responded to his statement, he got a German.

But, see, if the description of the movie we have here is at all accurate, it doesn't "go after whites." It "goes after" anyone who is stupid enough to think that the assorted studies white Canadians conducted on Inuits were unbiased, useful, or anything other than absurdly racist. The message the movie is attempting to convey is not "white peeple are teh stoopid LOLZ" but "Doesn't it look dumb when Inuits conduct patronizing bullshit research on white people? Well, when white people do the same to Inuits, that's just as dumb!" How you can find that message offensive is beyond me...

I wonder how many people are going to cry racism once they see this?
It does sound racist against white people, but I do want to see it and I think it would be a good film. I'm white, BTW.

Maybe he posted on time but it got warped to now.

From what you've said about that thing I've got a pretty good idea of what sort of shit it is. So I'm not even going to dignify it by clicking the link.

The fact that it's made by white people makes its racism more acceptable. It's like Borat. Think of how people would hate it if it wasn't a Jew who had made it.
