Philosophy Wire: Black James Bond, Indian Gandhi, Chinese Mozart…

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2012-10-27]: Will the next James Bond be black? [source: web news] Sure. Why not?!? Our society is too confused to understand the difference between not being a racist and not making bullshit movies. Can’t wait to see Uncle Tom's Cabin with a white (Caucasian) actor starring… And I am sure Gandhi played by an American Indian will make box office records… Oh, and that reminds me: Lawrence of Arabia played by an Eskimo. That is a dream of a lifetime. Why not have Eskimos for movies anyway? After all, we are not racists…
