Members of the Academy are Racists?

Could it be that China as a culture is extremely hostile to blacks (and virtually everyone else who isn't ethnic Chinese) and blacks feel uncomfortable even being in China, much less living and raising families there? ...

I suspect it might be because China didn't import a vast number of black slaves...

And why do you suppose China didn't do that, despite enslaving most of it's ethnic non-Han population for centuries? Perhaps they didn't want blacks in their society because they are xenophobic racists.

And yes, there has been relatively little immigration into china of any races; an overpopulated country with a turbulent political past was not going to be an attractive destination.

Um, I don't think so. The Great Wall of China demonstrates adequately that it was the Chinese who input enormous effort over a span of centuries to keep other ethnic peoples out of China.

The Chinese may well have a sense of cultural superiority,

"May well?" There's as gross a historically-disproven understatement as you could possibly make. Just say it: The Chinese people are xenophobic racists and have been for centuries.

You do realise that Marx didn't write his shit till the mid 1800's (less than 200 years ago)? So, AGAIN, what the fuck does Marxism have to do with China's lack of black people?!?

And where did I mention Marx, pray tell?

Are you trying to lie again?:

Not "Marxist"?? Wow, you are evolving!

Marxists are racists. You are a Marxist. You figure out the rest.

Stupid statement. Whatever their faults, Marxists are not racist, at least not because of their marxism. They want people of all races to join the glorious proletarian struggle...

Yeah, so that they can use them as cannon fodder. Ever see a black man in the Chinese Communist Central Committee?

And:

If Communist China is the egalitarian non-racist Marxist utopia you seem to think it is why aren't there blacks in China? There are plenty of Marxist blacks in Africa, so why haven't the Chinese Communists welcomed black Marxists into China and given them an ethnically-diverse seat in the Communist Central committee?

[Seth]

Are you trying to lie again?:

Are you suggesting that the Chinese Communist Central Committee is not Marxist?

Do try to keep up. "China" and "the Chinese" and "the Chinese Communist Central Committee" are not invariably synonymous. Context is all.

You asked where you mentioned Marx. I showed you. So AGAIN: What does Marxism have to do with there being no Blacks in China?!?

[pErvinalia]

Stop lying, for fuck's sake. You specifically referred to Brian. You claimed he said what you wrote. Why can't you stop yourself from continually lying?!?

Why can't you stop yourself from continually buggering your daughter?

Where's your proof that I bugger my daughter? We've got proof of you as a liar all over the forum.

I've got proof you bugger your daughter. Pictures even. They are all over the Internet.

And I see you've sunk to a new low. Calling me a kiddy fiddler and Rainbow a savage. I look forward to you being suspended so you have to find somewhere else to spew your vile hate.

I can guarantee that he'll dispute it was an insult. Joke, banter, justifiable response (as if that were a valid argument), yes, but not an insult.

Thank you for that. I certainly didn't take it for a joke. It will be good to have some clear air around here for a week.

Lol. Why don't white actors black-up for black roles like they used to then?

Because there are plenty of talented black actors to play such roles.

Ok. So when white actors blacked up it was only because black actors were shit?

Gayback Machine Fallacy.

There is nothing inherently wrong with women playing male roles or men playing female roles, or blacks playing white roles or whites playing black roles. There's an all female Ocean's Eleven coming out. Not a problem. If they wanted to do a You've Got Mail where Meg Ryan plays the mean megastore owner and Tom Hanks plays the soft spoken little bookshop owner, why not?

A white Othello? Sounds interesting.

How about folks stop being such meddling busybodies trying to direct everything to conform to their own sensibilities?

Lol. It's going to suck.

Not because it has an all-female cast, mind you. Because, well, Ocean's Eleven.

Really? Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford, Angie Dickinson, Joey Bishop, Norman Fell, Red Skelton, George Raft, was pretty awesome - a whose who of the classic Rat Pack folks.

Never saw the original, but likely a new one will be cut from the same cloth as the Clooney one or worse.
