Well, I've always thought the whole "Where are the black people?" thing when it came to LOTR to be ridiculous beyond imagining. It's supposed to be a mythology about pre-historic times in ENGLAND. The English never even SAW a black person until the 1300's or so. How in the world do these people expect there to be black people in the story? It's like one chick I knew who bitched about this, and couldn't get it through her thick skull that hundreds of years ago, the number of people who went farther than 50 miles from their homes in their entire lifetimes was microscopic, because she just couldn't imagine that someone wouldn't just get up and WALK 400 miles on a whim. When it comes to that kind of mentality, you just have to give up sometimes.

As for Kong, like I said, FANTASY. It's not supposed to be real. What I'd like to know is, where the hell are these people when it comes to all the violent, pimp-turned-rapper films? THOSE are racist movies. With a film like Kong, you have to turn cartwheels to invent stuff to dislike in this vein. With shit like those 'hood movies, it's right there in the open. Why the hell aren't they whining in the press about that shit?
