She's described as such in the book, but they'd misread, but whatevs I've misread character descriptions tons of times only to realize it years later. So even if these people were racially motivated in doing so... so what? So far as I could tell, it was a tiny handful of complainers out of millions of people who likely saw that film. Completely statistically insignificant.

Dude, it's a minor miracle that you have a Facebook account. Thinking about it, the fact that BOTH of us have Facebook accounts is is right up there with the "loaves and fishes" thing

With respect to the OP, I've taken to challenging some outrageous statements made on FB, but not many. Often, I enjoy reading other people do it. Yosh is particularly good at tossing stupid or ignorant arguments into the trash pile.
