Oh dear.

I liked Paleface, in case you haven't seen it, it was a spoof on Westerns. It was a SPOOF guys. You weren't supposed to take it seriously.

It was funny because it poked fun at Western movies and my Dear Mudcatters it had at least one good song in it. "Buttons and Bows". And several good jokes "Hmmm, Virginia Creeper".

When Painless was shaving and the arrow went 'thunk' and held up his mirror. It wasn't intended to be a putdown on Indians. It was meant to be funny.

Gawd, if you think that Paleface was chauvinistic and racist then you'd better not watch any of the Carry On movies.

One of the things that makes us human is the ability to laugh at ourselves. There was a thread recently on stereotypes, and yes that was funny as well.

I'm very left wing but I can still laugh, and I thank Bob Hope for making me laugh hard and often.
