Wait is frank castle a racist in lore? I thought he was just an irreverent bastard

Ignoring the blackface because the stupidity of that storyline transcends race: The Ennis run had a LOT of "I'm not racist but..." stupidity. Which is consistent with the average Vietnam vet but also permeates most of Ennis's work. And the Netflix series ends with him setting up the two gangs who ACTUALLY wanted peace and murdering them all as a tribute to Stan Lee because.. okay.

But mostly I was poking "fun" at Frank Grillo. He has said some REAL stupid shit over the years (there is a particularly awesome "actors having dinner together" interview where Chris Evans is seconds away from flipping the table and jumping out a window). Which is why it is REALLY funny that he portrays a former cop who can't turn his back on minorities in need and then Not Hillary Clinton's bodyguard who teams up with even more minorities to murder some fascists.
