Wife likes the movie so she recorded it. At the beginning she stopped it and summoned me. There's a big red screen that says:

'Warning! This movie contains stereotypes that may be offensive.'

I assume they mean the Asian guy. Heck, he's the only funny character in the movie.

I would think Long duk-Dong is anti-stereotypical.

As a child of the eighties with 20/20 hindsight, what deviant writers and directors made high-school sexual situations in the 80's so date-rapey and cringe?
More so offensive than a racial or sexual proclivity slight, IMO.

They probably just mean the characters assume traditional normative cis-gendered roles.

Movies like 16 Candles and Grease are highly offensive these days.

If the characters were trans or gay, no need for the warning notice.

Yet no offensive warning on commercials that have figs talking about medication to help with the hiv, and cuddling/kissing on each other. That's freaking nasty offensive stuff people needs a heads up on.

Such a clown world.

We have gotten to the point where a lot of people are coming out hard against this bull crap. I love 1/4 black producer and 1/2 Asian Lawyer on Steven Crowder's show. The HodgeTwins are a must listen too.

People are getting fed up with the "sensitivity" crap and starting to attack it.

Good.

Same here. Recorded it and saw the warning.
Then I lol’d when Sam called Ted a fig on the bus.

I could hear the REEEEEEEE in my head at Twitter shutting itself down over that.






Remember when no one fricking cared about stupid shite like that?

That movie was awesome, and it stereotyped nearly every high school click including the popular cliques.

Could just as well be the Italian stereotype of the family and guy ("oily bull hunk") Molly Ringwold's sister was marrying as anything else.

Of course they could edit out the gong noise they played every time you saw Long Duk Dong.
