This is some golden comedy!
First off, regarding pseudo-intellectual phony nonsense:
The hilarity of editing "...some of the most pseudo-intellectual, sophomoric, phony nonsense..." to "...amidst the most pseudo-intellectual..." is the kind of gift that keeps on giving!
...and (begging to be repeated) is the most pseudo-intellectual, sophomoric, phony nonsense posted in this thread!
WOW!
It certainly establishes you as an authority on the coming moral onslaught and keen observational mastery to come.
I'll wait while you refresh your drink...
Ok, despite the errors in your quoting system Jarvis, lets repost this little bit from about three months ago:
God help you that you needed a staff for that post!
Sure, there aren't many pictures or drawings in this thread, but stick with it and you might find some familiar sentiments and benefit from the later postings of The Drifter.
Get another ice cube, or two...

Yes.I.M.J. said:If racism is equivalent to parody in a Hero film whereby someone winds up in India and there are Indian bad guys there, then we are in big trouble as a society.
An expertise you no doubt hold dominion over!I.M.J. said:...creating a nonsense cause to champion, typif[ying] everything that is wrong with the world today.
Your powers of perception are only dimmed by the brilliance of your repulsor rays!I.M.J. said:Even the question itself is posed like a child would do it, hence the child-like phrasing of the question: "Is Indiana Jones racist?".

Good Lord. The Title of the thread:
1) Indiana Jones: Racist?
...is general.
The Poll question:
2) Are the Indiana Jones Films Racist?
...and the initial post question:
3) Where is the racism in any of the Indiana Jones films?
...each in their turn, and as they are able, build off of each other.
Exactly.I.M.J. said:It's like asking "Is bowling racist?"
Thank you, your arrogant-ness...I.M.J. said:- it's an idiot's question, but we'll address it as if it was valid.
God help you that you needed a staff for that post!
I.M.J. said:Do you mean the character himself? Then no. It's clear that he has a deeply rooted respect for cross-cultural differentiation which would most likely negate racists overtones in his life.
If you mean the movies at large? The answer is no, the movies were available to a wide range of audiences across the world, and offered as entertainment, and while using certain aspects of a given culture as the villain, the movies also offered aspects of each culture as valid and not all encompassing.
