Racism in a semi-historical film that covers post Civil War America? Shocking
Seriously tho', WTF are you expecting for a film set in that time period? If it pulled the racism it wouldn't be accurate. It's going to be chock-a-block with sexism too and for the same exact reason.
If you don't want to see it that's fine but intimating that the film has unnecessary racism in it is ludicrous.
You apparently struggle with reading comprehension. You wrote out that entire tirade against something I didn't say. Again, the advertisement was KEVIN COSTNER, the actor not a character, going on about what great people settlers were. In fact, it was a rather terrible advertisement because all I could gather is that the movie is about settlers going west.
Maybe he is expecting racial interactions to be more like what is in Shakiest Gun in the West?
