HOLY. SHIT.

So, I just saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

JESUS HOLY BEAUTIFUL DYSFUNCTIONAL OT3 OF BLOODY PIRATES.

In honor of which, I'm reposting my colorbar.

On the matter of Racism and PotC:DMC

You.

Yes, you.

You realize, right, that you are racist?

You realize, right, that it is perfectly okay that you are racist? So long as there's some awareness/sensitivity to the matter? That one of the worst things you can ever do is protest, "There is not a racist bone in my body?"

Also?

Ya'll do realize that Johnny Depp is not white? (not completely?)

Ya'll do realize that generalizations are not the same as stereotypes, and that pirates were stereotyped in both movies?

Ya'll do realize that, yes, both PotC's are, inherently, racist?

And that that's okay? That you are still allowed to enjoy the movie?
