I feel a similar annoyance when stereotypical "Americans"--loud, rude, stupid, perhaps topped in ten-gallon hats--appear in British movies


on the other hand why are all the baddies played by Brits over there?

Those of us who aren't super villains intent on world domination are more than happy to muddle along with a vague sense of intellectual superiority and a wistful yearning for the empire

It's sorta off your point, but Treyvon had skittles and watermelon flavor Arizona Ice Tea. It's two of the three ingredients for the purple drank. Nobody checked if he had prescription cough medicine at his father's place because that would have been racist to investigate if he was actually working on getting high during his innocent stroll.


Yes, better to focus on those issues instead of the actual homicide.

That always makes me chuckle. Americans have everything - all the money, the power and the world domination. Tragically, though, this - by definition - means that they can't have anyone who they can feel happily oppressed by. So they go back hundreds of years into history where - oh Joy! - there *were* oppressors - in the shape of us Brits, on our tiny island the other side of the Atlantic! Brilliant! We all have stratospheric IQs, but we're all latent psychopaths. It all fits. Bonzer!

How did a Limey get so smart.


BTW, I've noticed drinking grog helps with the next morning hangover. I use lime gatoraid and rum when I sometimes just want to drink to excess. I did research grog. I think my mix is still within the legal definition put forth by the Royal Navy.

You know what, sometimes people just need to be killed. I legally carry concealed handgun, it's in my pocket now. I've meditated quite a bit on actually taking life with it and living through the aftermath. I'm prepared to do all of that. But, you know, just for you, should I change the rules I have set for my actions based on skin color?


Why do you make it a racist thing. Killing someone is a big deal. Why do you want to belittle it with Monday morning racist turmoil?


And you see pixie, cloadboy has been polite and I am being polite in return.

So the producers can afford American actors for the lead, of course. Brits can do a pretty good job in a supporting role. I imagine they appreciate the opportunity to work in decent weather, too.

The posh accents convey a sense of superiority that adds to our delight when the villain is vanquished.

Yes, I already knew that you thought Tayvon earned being murdered for buying skittles, iced tea, and then walking home to his father's house.


And of course now we know the evidence well established that this never happened. Justifiable homicide in self defense is not murder.

Why did Shakespeare set plays in Italy, France, Greece, and Norse country?

Exotic locations play well.

How can you "race troll" on a race thread? Did you check out the Angry White Guy link? Do you feel any sympatico with that guy?

Yes, I already knew that you thought Tayvon earned being murdered for buying skittles, iced tea, and then walking home to his father's house. Some one like him should be accosted and murdered by the likes of upstanding, honest George Zimmerman.

You probably think the civil rights marchers should have been blasted with water canons back in the 1960s, too. Who knows. If someone mentions the past to you, you dismiss it as trolling.

George's acquittal caused many posters here to spontaneously ejaculate. A clear victory for them -- when Benghazi and the IRS scandals proved to be such empty pots of soup.



You have no fucking clue what he thinks and you prove it every time you post. You want to see a angry little white guy...look in the mirror. It positively oozes out of you every time you talk about anyone on the right. Now you may have sat around and pictured everyone popping a load but that was all in YOUR head. Like most of the bullshit you post.

I think it's because a lot of rich people back east use British accents to sound more classy and sophisticated. Like the people who go to "Haaah-vaaaard," which makes people associate the accent with snootiness and haughty condescension. Brits seem to use more formal and upper class speech. However, one thing that I learned from a discussion on the subject of British accents is that Americans generally hear the accents of British actors, newscasters, and other public figures who use what is called "Received Pronunciation" (a term I never heard up until a few years ago). Some of the more local/regional accents may not be familiar to most Americans.

Good question.

I can't answer it definitively, but here are a few guesses:

-- the association with royalty and aristocracy
-- years of seeing Alistair Cooke on public television
-- BBC documentaries
-- Bond. James Bond.
-- period dramas
-- the internalized sense of inferiority that comes with having been a colony

Perhaps almost everything nowadays is a reason for somebody to feel offended and harmed because their label or designation was simply mentioned?
Ya, just maybe.
