Since its release, the film has been criticized as being culturally insensitive. Jonathan Rosenbaum argued that the film presents gremlins as African Americans.[27] In Ceramic Uncles & Celluloid Mammies, Patricia Turner writes that the gremlins "reflect negative African-American stereotypes" in their dress and behavior. They are shown "devouring fried chicken with their hands", listening to black music, breakdancing, and wearing sunglasses after dark and newsboy caps, a style common among African American males in the 1980s.[40]
>Jonathan Rosenbaum argued that the film presents gremlins as African Americans.
How do you even see this stuff? I never would have thought of this.
Well, they ARE shown devouring fried chicken with their hands, listening to black music, breakdancing, and wearing sunglasses after dark and newsboy caps, a style common among African American males in the 1980s.
Do people eat fried chicken any other way?
You aren't jewish.
No.
Knife & fork, just like any other regular meal.
Jews poison everything.
Can you explain what being Jewish has to do with gremlins being shown devouring fried chicken with their hands, listening to black music, breakdancing, and wearing sunglasses after dark and newsboy caps, a style common among African American males in the 1980s?
They are not fond of swimming too
No, but Gremlins 2 is.

>(((gee i wonder)))
Come on user
Dont be retarded. Who is making the claim? Who claimed it was culturally insensitive? Who is the one that made it an issue?
I've literally never seen someone eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.
Pizza with a knife and fork is fairly common.
Who made the movie Gremlins? Check and mate.
I would say we'd have you over for dinner sometime, but you seem like an uncivilized savage, so stay away.
Wow, breakdancing, hip hop, and sunglasses (right as the designer market for them started to open) all a bunch of stuff popular in the late 80s all the way through the 90s and even early 2000s. Who would have thought!
Don't be artificial. It's okay that gremlins were supposed to be blacks. It's very funny, in fact. Denying it on the basis... what is the basis here, again? That a Jewish critic is highlighting something which actually exists in a film made by a Jewish filmmaker? How many levels deep are we right now?
user, look up commercials for fried chicken restaurants. Tell me which ones show people eating their chicken with cutlery.
I dislike it because it is black washing the true racism of the film, racism against asians.
You model your life after commercial advertisement depictions? You're definitely not coming over for dinner, guy.
Hourly reminder that devouring fried chicken with one's hands is barbaric
No
>it's another "Wikipedia editor shoehorns their personal beliefs into the article because they were able to find some article somewhere that agrees with them, which means they can toss it in with a citation" episode
All so tiresome.
Is the page for Ace Venture: Pet Detective still a battleground for transgender rights?
reminds me of this one I read the other day
>Cultural theorist William Nericcio states that the name may have been derived from one of the jokes about a Mexican man nicknamed "Speedy Gonzales" either because of his premature ejaculation or of his ability to quickly grab a chance for copulation, though the name of the character was not intended to be derogatory
I don't know but it had perhaps the most ambitious theme song

Almost everyone does this. The only people who don't are snooty weirdos like you.
I wish there were some version of this song in one of the movies

Hi all,
I'm as white nationalist and involuntarily celibate as all of you fine fellows, but are we really going with the idea that Gremlins eating fried chicken and breakdancing in newsboy caps isn't even in the least bit reminiscent of Afro-American culture? I'm on board for whatever the hivemind thinks, of course. Fuck wikipedia, haha!
Are there people that don't eat fried chicken with their hands?
I eat it with a knife & fork and don't see the problem with that, but apparently on this poorfag board it's somehow unusual.
give him a break that was the first time he'd ever eaten a pizza PIE before
Dude, I remember watching Gremlins as a kid and never once did I equate them as anything but that, gremlins...
I thought Yea Forums was bad but you really need to go back to /pol/
Okay, now explain the wealthy families I've known that used their hands when I was over for dinner.
yeah this is also a wikipedia one I think there's a lot of chicano ""academics"" and """experts""" that build a career around the controversy they can generate with this stuff, it's perfect because they get people buttmad over bullshit racism claims AND annoyed over their snooty academia attitude
So as an inexperienced, sheltered, and unaware juvenile human being, you overlooked something present in a film and resent any sort of analysis about it because feelings, and also, go back to /pol/. Is that your argument?
William of Ockham's infamous razor would suggest that one of us are lying.
No, I think it's some other guy.
>something present in a film
Okay, Gremlins screenwriter.
I'm just reading that now, good stuff

I'm not a parody of 80s black culture at all! I'm just an innocent gremlin!
too awkward to cut around the bones. and when you cut it, the breading just falls off.
>that awkward feeling when you cut too deep and end up hitting the bone
Just admit you're the unusual one, user.
What? You scrape the bones with the knife, and when properly cooked, the meat doesn't cling anyway. You've really never had the pleasure of using a pair of honed silver knife & fork to cut fried chicken? I feel so sorry for you.
How isn't this also a problem when you use your teeth like an animal?

some of the best music hollywood ever made.
why was everything so much better in the 1980-2000 time window? and why is everything so much worse post-2000?
I eat it by sucking it through a straw.
based and blenderpilled
I hope you do so as loudly as possible. It's the only way people will know you're enjoying your meal.
I don't eat fried chicken that often, I usually bake chicken if I eat it at all, with no breading, because breading is pointless.
I do, indeed. I tap the corners of my mouth with a napkin, thank everyone for a lovely dinner, and suck up some chocolate cake for dessert.
>he doesn't revel in the enjoyment of chicken fried Southern-style in Crisco in a seasoned cast-iron skillet, served on Chinese porcelain and eaten with a knife and fork
You don't have access to quality food and/or you're lazy, so you just buy chicken and throw it in the oven. Fuck you.
I toss the whole thing in my mouth, swallow until it's halfway down my throat and you can see the outline of the fried chicken piece in my neck, then I swallow again but harder and get it into my stomach. Finally, I burp and regurgitate the bone. It clatters humorously onto my plate.
I tried this once, but only the chicken came out. Felt pretty embarrassing.
Teeth can naturally eat around a bone. Mankind has done it for thousands of years.
That K&P sketch really nails how insane that movie is.
Based and Yea Forumspilled
Knives are pretty good at separating meat from bone, too. Mankind has been doing that for a while as well. Not that it's necessary to really carve when you have a properly-cooked piece of fried chicken, fag.
>eat around bone
>implying
Take the caveman pill user. If you arent slow roasting your meat long enough that the bone because soft enough to eat you arent doing it right.
You are supposed to eat the bone too.
>I said that the character had to be rock 'n' roll. He had to be the .007 of pet detectives.
I though Einhorn was part of the .007
Have you seen the size of fried chicken drumsticks these days? I mean you kind you get at KFC, Popeyes, Church's, all the big chains. Why use a knife on something that small instead of using your teeth as nature intended?
Why cook them at all? Why not just grab a chicken and bite?
>Implying I don't do that already
Also checked
Were newsboy caps actually black fashion in the 80s or is that just BS, never heard of that
i love this video
not just the 80s but early 90s too IIRC
Devouring fried chicken with their fucking hands. Disgraceful.
>Not devouring their hands instead
Well maybe niggers shouldn't act like gremlins

>he eats the bone
BASED. Eat bone to build bone.
I'm incredulous over the incredulity over eating fried chicken with utensils. It's perfectly normal for civilized individuals.

Gremlins is a masterpiece!!!FACT!!!

Imagine grasping at this many straws
So is the media in the tank for Trump and goes over-the-top to trigger people to root for the underdog, or is it just cluelessness?
