How can some see racist theme in alien adventure ‘Avatar’ ??
I was amazed to read a news on Yahoo
Some see racist theme in alien adventure ‘Avatar’ (AP)
I discussed this with my wife and inquired when and how during all the minutes of the movie a person can take it to be even close to being racist. After reading the whole news on Yahoo we tried to recreate all those moments of the movie in our mind but nowhere it seems to be racist. I was under an impression that there is no racism in America but this news says something different (and I donot believe it).
You may call it racist or you may not agree to it, but one thing that we all agree to is that it is a Masterpiece movie. Surely it is going to break all the records set by Titanic!
