First of all, you guys are projecting a lot of your own issues on me. My commentary is merely that that was literally the most racist bit of
television in decades. And that's including the news media. And it wasn't presented in any manner other than "yay! extremely white, Aryan, girl saves
all the poor helpless brown people" and said brown people were presented as little more than primitive humans who could barely speak.
It's the whole theme of the white savior magnified tenfold, without any sense of critique. Hell, it's the entire cultural thrust of the Euro-American
worldview since the colonial era distilled into a scene that was all of 5 minutes long.
If there's any hostility and anger coming out in relation to this scene, it isn't from me. All I did was point it out, with a wry grin.
