Try finding a Mongolian dude in 1950s America
Fuck John Wayne.
Why?
He’s a racist and sexist piece of shit. His legacy is still being used to push the “good 'ol boys” mentality and toxic Christian evengalicalism.
Sexy boi
At least this movie killed him
Hollywood did not hire people who weren’t white, unless they were black and used for a black role, and not always even then, for a very long time. Even today there are representation problems in Hollywood and in other media in general. In other words, America is racist, nice of you to notice.
'Murica and racism, name a more iconic duo
I love that Paul Mooney bit on Chappelle’s Show where he laughs about Tom Cruise playing the leading role in a movie called The Last Samurai. He says “Here’s a movie I want to see: ‘The Last N——r on Earth.’ Starring Tom Hanks!”
Ever seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s?
I’m sure I’ll never understand that movie or why so many college friends (early 2000’s) loved it.
That’s ok, though. Aside from this, I doubt I’ll think of it for another decade.
Wow, jeez, never seen this before. Terrible.
I’ll be invading China now… Pilgrum.
Or Alec Guiness playing Prince Fasial in Lawrence of Arabia
NGL he kinda looks like the actual dude
Close enough.
I don’t think it really matters if he looks like the actual dude. It’s rude as hell to pick a generic/famous white guy to portray a non-white historical figure. Some stills of him look really similar for sure but actually watching Lawrence of Arabia he just looks like someone rubbed dirt or bronze on his face and called it good enough
How about Iron Eyes Cody playing the famous crying Indian commercial though he’s Italian and spent most of his career running actual indigenous peoples out of Hollywood.
