And don't give me that pap about how you can't be racist against white people. That's always been a dumb argument. Words have more than one meaning, and "racist" doesn't have to mean structural racism. Also, since you're condemning Mel Brooks for being personally racist, you're not even using the word to mean structural racism.
Mel Brooks did a lot of rude comedy. It was his stock in trade. I cringe at his sense of humour sometimes. (But I admit he and Cleavon Little did a good job with the race jokes in this movie.)
But an old man from a privileged background making tacky jokes does not justify your categorical condemnation of his work--just for being a privileged old white man.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-03 03:46 am (UTC)(link)Thank you for saying this! It boggles my mind how somehow the definition put forward by a university prof (power+privilege) has somehow become the de facto definition in the past few years.
So many times, I've seen arguments about racism go round and round in circles, because one set of people is using the p+p=r definition, and the other is simply going with the "discriminating on the basis of race" definition. And some people end up using it as a card to defend shitty behavior.
Instead of arguing semantics, it would be easier if everyone would stop being assholes. Gotta be honest, though: that'll never happen.
