Anderson Cooper: My Mom Is A Dirty, Dirty Whore »

King Kong Is (Yawn) Racist
The film plays on age-old colonialist stereotypes about black men, such as "those people are all fifty feet tall," "you can't leave those people alone ten minutes with dinosaurs without a fight breaking out," and "those people reduce your property values by climbing all the skyscrapers in your area and knocking down biplanes."
Or something.
Link Glitch: I had intended to link Digital Brownshirt, who sent me the story (and excerpts it), but I accidentally just posted the link to the actual Kong-is-racist review. I've changed that, thanks to Dave's tip.
Dave, the web's go-to guy for ape extravaganzas, reviews the movie, giving it a rave (but consider the audience, here) and finds the charges of racism pretty silly.
