How racist is Hollywood? The writers and creators somehow put Maori designs in the animated movies and didn't realize it. Now suddenly a very viking movie has a black girl, who isn't Maori.
Want another one? The Diary of a Mad Black woman is a retelling of the ancient Greek play Medea. When it was an actual play, the reviewers recognized it and even pointed out how Medea is used in black culture. When it came out as a movie, none of the reviewers recognized it and thought the character Madea was weird. They praised it for being black though.
I didn’t know that. I’ll look up the original Greek play
Medea, the Witch of Colchis, wife of Jason?
Yes, her.
Anything that sounded like a reference was purely coincidental. I really never knew that about the "Madea" stuff (which I've never seen anyway).
Mom dragged me to one of those movies as a kid (even then thought it sucked) but thought about that when Medea popped up in a series I was watching.
Mmhhmmm yeah, that's him
