Man thats true but... this is Just stupid. Those Italian goodfellas mobsters were just that, caricatures. John gotti did not speak like a scholar, all these dudes were ignorant goombas that played in the streets. Its like slapping a content warning on scarface, carlitos way, menace or boyz in the hood. Are there not people who really act and talk and carry themselves like the characters in these movies? Whats the point of acting then if shyt like this is considered offensive?
And the more insidious part, is when this gets normalized, then the white hick racists are gonna start bytching that roles like edward norto in american history x or Michael rappaport in higher learning are just "offensive stereotypes" and theyll start weaponizing that so that those stories wont be told cause they find it offensive. And when you stop telling these stories, society at large starts falling into those cycles again
Its almost like people just wanna virtue signal rather than put in any work to dismantle these systems in 2024, you could see it with how the younger generations are simultaneously the most likely to be social justice warriors one day and then be "redpilled" and turn into full on MAGA cucks
Has that not always been the case young whites and even black/non-black people of color start off being political progressive only to become political conservative
as they get older. Hell look at the flower generation they would grow up to vote for ronald reagan
I was a kid then but how'd he get a pass on that?
