Everyone's a little bit racist...

[trinityvixen]

Racists suck. But stupid racists are hilarious. Case in point: there is a conservative hate group that is actually hating on the upcoming Marvel movie Thor (our May Movie, folks!). Not because the trailer made it look like another $200M exercise in mediocrity. (True fact: at least half that budget was spent on replacing sets that Anthony Hopkins had devoured.) They're protesting because Idris Elba in it.

Personally, I'd protest any movie that doesn't have Idris Elba in it. (HOTT.) Give this man allllll the roles in Hollywood, kthanxbai.

Here's a great take-down of the racists' claims. Look, racism is bad. But with a little more of this kind of racism, we might just kill the whole evil, malingering cancer of racism outright. Bad day to be a racist if these guys are your spokesmen. And I say men, because, let's face it, only a bunch of white dudes would get this far up their own assholes about Idris Elba. (Because they secretly wish it were Idris Elba up there.)

I love that there's a picture of them. I wish the organization posted all their mailing addresses so I could send them all cards that say, "Seriously? No, SERIOUSLY??"

The captions on that post continue to be A+.

I love the captions. I really wish they'd gone on to point out that one of the Warriors Three (entirely made up by Marvel even more than with what they did to Thor) is, like, Asian or something. OH NOES, THE GUY THAT MARVEL MADE UP TO BE NORSE IS ASIAN DOES NOT COMPUTE DOES NOT COMPUTE.

I love that picture of them, too. No wonder they have such hard-ons for the Nordic people. I'd want six-plus feet of Nordic man if I were a five-foot troll. I'm not, and I still want it. I still want Idris Elba, too, so maybe the solution to their racism is to be sluttish?
