Contains Racist Attitudes
Not this post, of course!
But a film on Film4 now - Major Dundee - 1964 - a western about the Apache Indian and the US Cavalry.
Have we really come this far in PC bullsh1t????
A film, which is 50 years old, for which our 'sensitivities' need protecting from as it portrays some Racial Attitudes to the American Indian?!
FFS the world has gone stark staring mad!!
Are we not able to digest content with the appropriate 'context' adjustment in our own minds?
Stop the world, I wish to get off ..............

According to the film Full Metal Jacket: 
I don't know, but I've been told.
I don't know... Etc
That Eskimo ***** is mighty cold.
I don't know much about American marching songs, but until heard that ditty, I didn't even realise that Inuits even had cats...?
So films can be educational, as well...

Nah it's a cunning plan by the broadcasting companies. Forewarn people about any potentially offensive content, then if people still complain then tell them "you were warned, you didn't have to watch it". Genius... if only.

It's laughable that someone looked at the Film and decided that a 50 year old film about red indians needed a racist warning.
Yet they forgot to mention anything about the Black and White Minstrel Show which followed it .............. for those too young, google and you tube it
