I love how the woke crowd had managed to ruin voice acting, now. It was coming sooner or later, I suppose.

Should I feel bad for putting on a Jamaican accent for a bloodthirsty troll I voiced in a video game? I'm neither Jamaican, nor a troll.

Dennis Hopper set the record straight in "True Romance". Maybe the southern Italian-Americans can claim two spots on the racial bingo card?
You do know that it's an ongoing joke by Tarantino, of Italian descent? The Moors were Berbers and their "darker" skin has been wildly exaggerated. Italians are no more sub-Saharan than the Spanish or Portuguese, even less so by genetic testing.

Anyway this is not a thing and any Italian/Italian American that cares about it is an outlier.

Since I have an Italian ancestor who ended up in Sorrento, Louisiana, does this mean I can protest at the premiere of this film and burn down the theatre? Can my kids attend college for free because they're victims of discrimination?




This paranoia about racism and cultural appropriation is ridiculous.

They are desperately trying to pin some bullshite on Pratt so they can cancel him. But he seems to be a genuine person and a nice guy so people keep fighting back. Hell even Evans and Ruffao stopped people from canceling him over his support for Trump.

These idiots -

“Chris Pratt as Mario is Italiphobia.”

Same idiots-

“OMG Hamilton is the best thing ever!”

As an Italian-American, I don’t give any fricks about this. And as the article pointed out, the character itself is a “racial stereotype”.


Mario and Luigi are openly embraced in Italian culture. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I saw they re-created The Wonder Years as a black family

And it's directed and produced by Fred Savage...one of the whitest white-guys on the planet.

This 100%. They could have an 11yo Asian girl voice Mario and I wouldn’t care.

I guess it’s going to get to the point where the media will tell everyone when they should be insulted and the person doing so usually has no connection to the race/gender/ethnic group they’re writing about.

Yeah -- it's really really frustrating. Overrepresenting blacks in TV and movies, and re-making white shows with black cast? How brave and inclusive!

Care to think how the filth would respond if a re-make of Fresh Prince of Bel Aire with a white cast would go over?
