"You boys ever been to Me-hee-co?"

What the hell does Cameron Diass say at the beginning of the film? "This is hostile, y'all"? That's a weird line. Is it a reference to another movie?

Well, correct me if I am wrong, but Lucy Lui is capable of pronuncing Ls as "el" and not "ra". To pronounce the Ls as Rs in a actress who is a second or third generation Asian American is not fun ribbing for acceptable. There is no excuse, it is racism.

Also, making fun of "hicks" is not racist. This is because HICKS ARE NOT A RACE. People need to understand that certain predjuices can only be racism when race is involved. Furthermore, to define a "hick" or "hillbilly" is to define them based upon deviant behavior that is not accepted in society as a whole.

So what the hell does it matter? It's okay to make fun of a 'culture' as long as it's not located on another continent? An accent is an accent. Getting all pissy about making fun of it (funny it's almost never a person of the "race" being made fun of who goes on a tirade about it) is one thing, but selective acceptance of it is just pathetic. Get over yourselves, people. You're not helping anyone or defending anyone in need of defense. This world is a f***ing PC hell.....

Would everybody in this thread please take a chill pill!! If you want to call her Rucy Rui, smokin' babe, hot little geisha girl, whatever!! People need to lightin' up a little and stop knitpicking over the little things.

If you want to see some real problems, then why don't you go visit the Middle East, Africa, or Asia. I love my country, but we have it so good here that sometimes people need to "find" something to complain about cause life ain't perfect. Stop whining!!

Ok, now I'm going back to watching Charlie's Angels part 1 with hot little Rucy Riu!! :)

To put it in analogous terms, is making fun of the way a pedophile talks predjuice? What about a bankrobber? Pathological liar?

The difference here is that you are not making an attack on her based upon Lucy's own merits. You are criticizing her based on stereotypes of her ancestors.

America's dirty little secret is not racism....it's classism...making fun of hicks/rednecks etc...is picking on "lower class" folks. Wait, I'm not gonna continue this in this thread (to continue this conversation, head over to the Other Forum...I'm making a thread....NOW!)...this is about Charlies Angels FT...I'm gonna see it, and I want goofy over the top action and I want T&A....anything else added is a plus.

EDITED to add the Other thread: http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=304209

How the hell do you think it got so good in the first place? Not by people shutting up and taking it, I'll tell you that much.
