Something being funny is subjective, though. somthing being racist is not.

People like Seth McFarlane are apparently 'funny' in too many peoples viewpoints. the men who make south park are lauded as 'funny'. we don't let them get away with this. Even the people who find them funny still consider them problematic, and we always call them out on it, which is right, but no-one calls brooks on his shit?

"obviously anti-racist" In what world can you say this? How it is obvious? It seems obvious to me that it is VERY racist.

They don't call him out on it, again, because they don't agree with you that it's racist. If they thought he was racist, they'd call him out, but they don't. It's not a complicated concept. You might think it was racist, but most people disagree, so they act like it's not racist.

So you clearly don't live on planet earth.

I mean, hey, maybe I'm crazy for not thinking it's racist

i don't really give a shit

i'm just saying, you shouldn't be surprised that no one acts on an opinion that you hold and they don't really. no one calls mel brooks racist because they don't think he's racist.

no one calls mel brooks racist because they don't think he's racist

Another very helpful comment.

What I want to know is WHY noone thinks he racist we he clearly is, and this would be very clear to everyone if he was doing the same stuff but was anyone else.

Well, he's not 'clearly' a racist, or everyone would agree with you that he's a racist

which they don't

because they look at the things he's done and they say, okay, on balance that does not seem like the actions of a racist

it'd probably be more helpful if you could list the things that make him so obviously a racist, since (a) there are apparently so many of them that it's beyond argument and (b) you disagree with most people in the world on this one

HDU

DA
This particular Earthling doesn't always use telepathy to create the hive mind you keep mentioning. Maybe you are so belligerent sounding that people DON'T share their opinions with you on are regular basis.

Well, remember this movie was made in 1974? So considering that, it tries. Anyway, here's some examples:

Sheriff Bart: "'Scuse me while I whip this out."

[Audience pulls back in horror]

[Bart pulls out the decree and gives them all a sardonic look.]

-
Jim: [consoling Bart] What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.
-
The movie is sending up white people's fear of the black man for the most part, using their ignorance against them. It uses the "mysterious stranger" western trope (Sheriff Bart) and then doubles it with the Gene Wilder character, turning it into a buddy movie. Kind of a rarity at the time. I think I'll give it a re-watch.
